Ingredients

  • 1 spoon Oil, olive

  • 1 piece Butter, unsalted

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 150 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 300 g Rice, white, short grain

  • 1 l Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 100 g Beans, fresh

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

Steps

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion. Pour the broth into a pot and slowly heat it over moderate heat. Once the broth comes to a boil, remove the pot from the heat.

  2. In another pot, heat the oil and a small piece of butter. Add the chopped onion to the heated fat and sauté it, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent. Add the diced bacon and continue to fry, stirring, until the bacon becomes crispy. Then add the rice and quickly sauté it, stirring, until it becomes translucent.

  3. Pour the hot broth over the rice and stop stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and cook over moderate heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the rice is almost fully tender.

  4. Uncover the pot and stir in the peas. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring, until the peas and rice are fully tender, then remove the pot from the heat. Season the risotto with freshly ground pepper and add a little salt if needed.

  5. Serve the prepared risotto on plates and accompany it with a large bowl of salad.

Advice

Instead of frozen peas, you can use fresh peas, but they will need to be cooked longer. Its best to add them to the dish along with the broth. You can sprinkle the prepared risotto with grated Parmesan before serving.
