Preparation
Step 1
Warm chicken stock over medium-low heat in a saucepan to a simmer.
In the meantime, add bacon to a skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until just crisp. Stir in mushrooms, shallots, and garlic and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Move bacon, mushrooms and shallots to one side of the skillet.
Add rice to the other side of the skillet and toast to bring out the flavor, about 3 minutes. When rice has turned a light golden color, add chicken broth to risotto, about 1/2 cup to 1 cup at a time, stirring until absorbed. Cook until risotto has cooked to your personal preference, about 20 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and stir peas, butter, Parmesan, and salt and pepper.
Serve warm with additional grated Parmesan.
