Recipe of the Week: Risotto with Peas and Bacon

My husband I found this recipe years ago and we make it all the time. It is really easy and our kids will even eat it.

1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup onions
1/2 cups of Aborio rice
1/2 cup of white wine
32 oz of Chicken broth
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup of frozen peas, thawed
10 slices of bacon, precooked and chopped


Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. When it is melted add onions and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then add Aborio rice and cook for 30 seconds. Then add white whine and wait until absorbed. Then add approximately 1 cup of chicken broth, once absorbed add another 1/2 cup. Keep adding broth until rice is soft and cooked thru. Then turn off heat and add parmesan , peas, and bacon. Mix well until cheese is melted.  Serves 4
