1 1/4 cup Arborio rice
1/4 lb slab bacon - cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/4 cup onion - diced
1 cup dry white wine
6-8 cups chicken stock
1 tbs olive oil
2 tbs unsalted butter
salt and fresh ground black pepper
Bring chicken stock to a simmer. In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium/medium-high heat. Add bacon, season with black pepper, and cook until it is browned. Then, add onions and cook until the onions begin to caramelize. Add rice and cook until translucent, stirring continuously. Add white wine, stirring continuously, until it is absorbed. Begin adding stock, a ladle-full at a time. Keep stirring after each stock addition. The stock will be absorbed fairly quickly. Once it is absorbed, add another ladle-full and don't forget to keep stirring. Continue adding the stock, one ladle-full at a time, until the rice is al dente. Then, add the butter and season with salt and pepper. Stir so all of the rice gets a nice coating of butter, salt, and pepper. I like this with a lot of black pepper. Serve it right away while it is luscious and glistening.

You can get some pretty good stuff really fresh but it sucks because most of it I don't like. About the only thing I can get local that I really like are scallops.

This is one of those dishes that comes out better from your own kitchen than all but fanciest of restaurants. It has to be built one ladle at a time; it's ready when it's ready. A minute or two either way makes a huge difference.

I've only had it edible at one restaurant and damn was it amazing there. Everywhere else it was pretty much just nasty hard rice in gravy.

This is so cool. I have never made a risotto before, but have been considering taking a stab at it. This may be the recipe to pop my risotto making cherry.
Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured.
