Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet, sauté the onion together with the sliced bacon for 5 minutes until soft. Add the sliced chestnut mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes until they release their juice. Stir in the risotto rice and sauté until it absorbs all the released liquid.

2. 2

   Gradually add the hot chicken broth in batches, stirring constantly, and wait until the liquid is almost absorbed before adding the next portion – this will take about 20 minutes. When the rice is al dente, season to taste, remove from heat and serve, sprinkled with grated parmesan.
