Bacon Mushroom Risotto Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 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!

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in large saucepan until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Meanwhile, cut the corn from the cobs and set aside. Snap the cobs in half and put in a pot with 7 cups water; bring to a low simmer. Stem and slice the mushrooms.
• Cook the mushrooms in the pan with the bacon drippings over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate. Add the butter and shallots to the pan, season with salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in the wine until absorbed, then add 1 teaspoon salt and the corn kernels.
• Ladle in 1/2 cup of the hot corn broth, stirring until absorbed. Continue adding broth in 1/2-cup increments, allowing it to be absorbed before adding more, until the rice is just tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cheese, chives and some of the mushrooms and bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with the remaining bacon and mushrooms and more cheese.

Steps:

• Cook and stir the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon and reserve.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan over high heat; reduce heat to low to keep the chicken stock hot.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion begins to turn golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Pour in the rice and stir until the rice is coated in butter and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in one-third of the hot chicken stock and continue stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid and turned creamy. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. When finished, the rice should be tender, yet slightly firm.
• Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the Parmesan cheese, and the reserved bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
• Heat 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook 10 to 13 minutes, stirring frequently, until bacon is crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to slow cooker.
• Add mushrooms to drippings in skillet. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add shallots to skillet and cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until shallots are softened and mushrooms are browned. Add rice and salt and cook about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice becomes opaque. Add wine; cook and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed. Transfer to slow cooker.
• Add broth to slow cooker; stir. Cover and cook on High heat setting 30 minutes. Stir; cook 40 to 60 minutes longer or until rice is just tender but not mushy, and liquid is absorbed.
• Heat whipping cream in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until warm. Stir cream and Parmesan cheese into rice mixture. Serve immediately.

• Add arborio rice and cook over medium heat until rice warms for about 5 minutes (don't allow to brown).
• Add 1 cup of the hot lemon stock to the rice, stirring well with a wooden spoon.
• Once the stock has absorbed, add the mushrooms and another cup of hot stock.
• Stir well and wait until the stock has been absorbed before adding another cup of the hot stock.
• Repeat the above step until all the stock has been absorbed (adjust consistency with more/less water or stock if required).
• Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese.
