Mushroom & bacon risotto is a savory and comforting dish that combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with the rich, smoky taste of bacon. This creamy risotto, infused with white wine and chicken gravy, is the perfect meal for a cozy evening at home.
- Use Arborio rice for the creamiest consistency, as it releases more starch than other types of rice.
- Keep your chicken gravy warm in a separate pot so that it can be easily incorporated into the risotto without cooling down the cooking process.
- Slowly add the chicken gravy to the rice, one ladle at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- Stir constantly to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and to help release the starch from the rice for a creamier dish.
- For added flavor, toast the rice in the butter for a minute or two before adding the liquid.
- Allow the risotto to rest for a few minutes after cooking to let the flavors meld together.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a burst of freshness just before serving.
This Mushroom & bacon risotto is the epitome of comfort food, delivering rich and hearty flavors in every bite. Perfect for a cozy dinner or as an impressive dish for guests, it’s sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire.
