    Pancetta and Pea Risotto


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1/4 pound pancetta or bacon, diced
    1 onion, chopped
    4 1/2 cups chicken broth
    1 cup Arborio, or other short-grain rice
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    8 ounces frozen peas
    4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    Fresh sage leaves

    Recipe



    In large shallow skillet saute pancetta to render fat.

    Stir in onion and sauté, about 5 minutes, until tender.

    Heat chicken broth in medium saucepan and keep at a simmer.

    Add rice to the onion in skillet, cook and stir 1 minute; add wine and stir until absorbed, about 2 minutes.

    Using a soup ladle, add about 1/2 cup of broth to the skillet; stir until absorbed.

    Continue cooking, adding broth gradually and stirring almost constantly, until rice starts to soften, about 10 minutes.

    Add peas and continue cooking, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, until rice is just tender but slightly firm in the center and mixture is creamy, about 10 minutes longer.

    Stir in cheese to melt; season with salt and pepper. Spoon into shallow bowls to serve garnished with fresh sage.

    Servings: 4
