Preparation
- In a 5-quart Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook 3-4 minutes until soft and slightly transparent.
- Add the bacon and stir constantly until it starts to crisp.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the arborio rice and cook for one minute, stirring constantly so the oil coats the grains.
- Stir in the white wine and simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add one cup (235ml) of the chicken stock and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the rice absorbs most of the liquid, continue to add 1-2 cups (235-470ml) of stock at a time until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through, about 25-30 minutes total.
- NOTE: The risotto should be al dente and fall back in on itself when you run the spoon along the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remove from the heat.
- Serve and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!
