Bacon And Mushroom Arborio Rice Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a 5-quart Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook 3-4 minutes until soft and slightly transparent.
• Add the bacon and stir constantly until it starts to crisp.
• Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the arborio rice and cook for one minute, stirring constantly so the oil coats the grains.
• Stir in the white wine and simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add one cup (235ml) of the chicken stock and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Once the rice absorbs most of the liquid, continue to add 1-2 cups (235-470ml) of stock at a time until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through, about 25-30 minutes total.
• NOTE: The risotto should be al dente and fall back in on itself when you run the spoon along the bottom of the pot.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remove from the heat.
• Serve and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring broth and water just to boil in saucepan. Keep warm on low heat.
• Cook bacon in large saucepan until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 Tbsp. drippings.
• Return 1 Tbsp. drippings to pan. Add mushrooms and onions; cook on medium heat 4 min. or until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from pan; set aside.
• Add remaining bacon drippings and rice to pan; cook and stir 1 min. Stir in 1 cup hot broth; bring just to simmer. Cook 5 min. or until most of the broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Repeat, adding remaining broth then wine, 1/2 cup at a time, until rice is tender. (This will take about 30 min.)
• Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter; stir until melted. Crumble bacon. Add half to rice mixture along with the cheese, parsley and mushroom mixture; stir. Sprinkle with remaining bacon.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and cook the onion and bacon for 5 mins to soften. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 mins until they start to release their juices. Stir in the rice and cook until all the juices have been absorbed.
• Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring well and waiting for most of the stock to be absorbed before adding the next ladleful - it will take about 20 mins for all the stock to be added. Once the rice is cooked, season and serve with the grated Parmesan.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat.
• Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid, and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Set oven to 325 degrees.
• Butter a casserole dish.
• Cook the rice, and set aside.
• In a frypan cook bacon until crisp; drain the bacon fat if desired, or just leave in frypan to fry the veggies (you might still have to add in some butter for frying) remove and chop bacon into large pieces and set aside.
• Add in 1/4 cup butter, and saute onion, garlic, celery and green pepper for about 4-5 minutes or until soft.
• Transfer the cooked bacon and sauteed veggies to a large bowl; add in the cooked rice and all remaining ingredients; mix well to combine, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer to a greased casserole dish.
• Bake (covered or uncovered) for about 30-40 minutes.
• **NOTE** if desired sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the casserole the last 20 minutes of baking.
• Also, for perfrect converted rice, boil 1-3/4 cups water with 1 cup rice and 2 tablespoons butter (double the water, rice and butter if desired) this will give you a not too soft rice, perfect for this or any recipe.
