SUN-DRIED TOMATO-BACON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Cook broth and water in saucepan until heated through. Meanwhile, cook and stir bacon in large skillet on medium-high heat 5 min. or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings from skillet.

BACON & MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and cook the onion and bacon for 5 mins to soften. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 mins until they start to release their juices. Stir in the rice and cook until all the juices have been absorbed.
• Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring well and waiting for most of the stock to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful - it will take about 20 mins for all the stock to be added. Once the rice is cooked, season and serve with the grated Parmesan.
