Onion And Bacon Risotto Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION, BACON, AND PARMESAN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Set a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. Pour in chicken broth, and allow the broth to come to a simmer. Keep the broth warm until ready to use.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon, and cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about ten minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pan, and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Turn the heat of the pan down to medium-low. Add shallots and a pinch of salt, and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened. If the shallots are cooking to quickly, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool before continuing to cook. The shallots should be soft and fragrant, but avoid burning them.
• Add garlic, cook for about a minute with the shallots. Add rice, and stir to coat in the oil, garlic, and shallots. Cook rice for about 2-3 minutes, until only a white dot remains in the middle of each grain.
• Pour in white wine, and allow the alcohol to cook out of the wine as it is absorbed into the rice, about 2-3 minutes.
• Once the wine has been absorbed, begin adding the warm chicken broth one ladle at a time. Wait until each ladle is nearly absorbed by the rice before adding the next. This process will take about 20-25 minutes total. The rice will start to transform and take on a very creamy texture as it cooks.
• Once the rice has just the slightest bite to it, stir in the caramelized onions and cooked bacon, and remove the risotto from the heat. Stir in parmesan and butter, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped chives, and serve hot!

CREAMY RISOTTO WITH BACON AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by two-thirds, 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool and thicken.
• Bring the vegetable stock to a simmer in a large pot. Place a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the oil. Add the onions and bacon and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon and the shallots are soft but not caramelized, about 8 minutes.
• Add the rice and a good sprinkle of salt. Stir until the rice becomes toasted, about 3 minutes. Add about 1 cup of hot stock to the rice at a time and stir slowly until all the stock has been absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes. Stir in the parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide among four shallow bowls and garnish with the chopped walnuts, a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar reduction and the olive oil. Serve

BACON RISOTTO

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.
