Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 ⅓ cups uncooked Arborio or long-grain rice
4 cups chicken broth
¼ teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces bison bacon
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place asparagus in single layer in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake, uncovered, for 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Cool slightly. Cut into bite-size pieces; set aside.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Cook onion in hot butter for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender. Add rice. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Carefully stir in broth and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes (do not lift lid).
  • Meanwhile, cook bison bacon, 1/2 at a time, over medium heat in a large skillet for 5 to 6 minutes per batch or until crisp, turning occasionally. If necessary, drain on paper towels. Transfer to a cutting board. Cool slightly; chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in asparagus. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in bison bacon pieces and Parmesan cheese.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the recipe.

I had a hard time finding bison bacon at my local grocery store. I ended up using regular bacon, and it was still delicious.

I found that this risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.
