No Stir Bacon and Pea Risotto
If you love risotto but don’t like the constant stirring it takes to make it try this pressure cooker version. We’ve served ours with bacon and peas but you could do any combination of toppings. The pressure cooker means the rice is perfectly cooked and the flavour is amazing as all the stock absorbs into the rice.
We’ve used the Ninja 15 in 1 Smartlid for this recipe but any pressure cooker will work
Ingredients
5 bacon slices chopped into pieces
30g butter
1/2 red onion
1/2 clove garlic (I use lazy garlic instead)
250g Arborio rice
1L stock ( I used beef)
100g frozen peas
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
60ml whole milk or cream
Grated cheddar and spring onions to garnish
Method
Cut your bacon into pieces about 1cm
Dice for onion.
Saute the bacon until brown and crispy, set aside.
Add the butter and onions and saute for a minute then add the arborio rice and stir into the butter/onion mix and sauce on low for 2-3 mins.
Add garlic, salt and pepper and the stock and stir well.
Cook on HIGH pressure for 6 mins with QUICK RELEASE
While rice is cooking microwave peas.
Combine peas into rice and serve with the bacon on top and some grated cheddar and spring onions to garnish.
