Risotto is easily my favorite food group. I decided to jazz it up by adding some things I needed to get rid of in my fridge.
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
2 slices bacon chopped
1/3 cup risotto
White Wine
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach
1/3 cup Blue Cheese crumbled
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 lemon
Pot of boiling Beef Broth
Heat olive oil in saute pan, add bacon and cook for a few minutes to render out the fat. Add the onions, cook til translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute. Toss risotto in cook for a minute til it becomes a bit translucent. Add wine to the pot and boil it down another minute. Cover with the beef broth and add spinach. As this is risotto at this point you pretty much just have to keep stirring. As the water boils away keep adding the beef broth so that the risotto is always covered. Cook like this for about 20 minutes. Once the water has boiled away, take off heat. Squeeze the lemon around the edge of the pan. Stir in the blue cheese and parm. Season with pepper. Taste before adding any salt because it is pretty salty from the cheese, broth and bacon.
