How to Make Mushroom And Red Wine Risotto

  1. Remove rind from 4 slices bacon and finely chop.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside.
  3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Add 1 ½ cups Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes until translucent.
  5. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, ½ cup frozen peas (or ½ cup shelled fresh broad beans), 2 cups hot vegetable or chicken stock, ½ cup dry red wine, and the cooked bacon. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
