Step by Step Method

Step 1

Bring stock and 2 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.

Step 2

Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan.

Step 3

Add oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add leek, shallots, thyme, and garlic to the pan; saute 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in rice; cook 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup stock mixture; cook 5 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Reserve 1/3 cup stock mixture. Add the remaining stock mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more (about 25 minutes total).

Step 5

Stir in lemon juice, butter, pepper, salt, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 6

Stir in the reserved 1/3 cup stock mixture. Sprinkle with the reserved bacon and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

This is really good and fairly easy too. I did add 1 pkg of frozen vegetables as I didn't serve anything with this and it was filling enough for a light supper. Thanks for sharing!
