Ingredients

  • for frying oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 4 back rashers bacon, finely chopped
  • 200g risotto rice or carnaroli or arborio
  • fresh chicken stock, made up to 1 litre
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, take the stalks off if you prefer

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat a little oil in a wide pan and fry the onion gently for a few minutes until soft, add the garlic and half of the bacon and fry everything together. Add the rice and stir well and then add the stock a couple of ladles at a time, stirring each lot in until it is completely absorbed and the risotto is creamy but still retains a little bite (you might not need to use all of the stock).

  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, heat another pan with a little oil and cook the remaining bacon with the tomatoes over a high heat until browned. Spoon over the risotto to serve.
