risotto rules!

My friend Haymond told me today that he wants to try the pork vindaloo recipe I posted, so I thought that if he found it useful, I'd post a few more recipes. What do you reckon? Let me know by leaving a comment.

A cheesy bacon risotto? on a diet? well yes. And its very easy to do and only takes 20 minutes or so to make.

1. Chop some spring onions and four cloves of garlic. Spray a large frying pan with Fry Light (or use a dash of olive oil), and sweat the onions and garlic over a medium heat for a few minutes.

2. Slice approx four slices of turkey bacon or lean bacon rashers into strips. Pop them into the pan with the spring onions and garlic.

3. Add just over 300g of arborio rice to the pan and leave for about a minute or until the rice turns translucent.

4. Add about a litre of chicken stock to the rice. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the stock has absorbed into the rice. keep an eye out so the rice doesn't burn or stick to the pan- it can be a nightmare to clean. 

5. stir in a tablespoon of parmesan cheese and sprinkle with fresh chives and pepper. 

6. Serve and enjoy!

I'm keeping the leftovers to put into lunches tomorrow- yum!
