Pancetta, Pea and Sage Risotto


This is delicious risotto recipe from Taste, although I did make a few adjustments. 
I use pancetta not prosciutto, I added a handful of chopped sage at the rice stage, I used ham stock not chicken (plus needed extra cup) and I grated parmesan on top but not through... but hey I don't have time to type out my version ;)


Either way risotto is always a simple tasty dish to cook. 
Chop up the pancetta, onion and garlic and cook until the onion is nice and soft.


Add the rice and chopped sage, and give it a decent couple of minutes cooking while stirring.


Add the white wine and cook until is basically gone.


Add the warm stock a ladle at a time and continually keep moving the rice around.


I add more stock once I can make a 'clear' space in my pot!


With the last ladle add the peas. 
Serve with topped crispy sage butter and a grating of parmesan.

  5. It sure looks yummy Muppy. I used to make 50 portions of risotto at a time, and that's a LOT of stirring! Now I much prefer to have someone make it for me :)
