Chef's tip

Fry the bacon, mushrooms and thyme as above. Add 300g risotto rice and stir. Add 900ml hot stock, a third at a time, cooking to absorb in between. When rice is nearly tender, add the peas and cook. Add lemon juice, 2 tbsp Parmesan and a knob of butter.

Wine Recommendation

Choose a light, tangy red – an Italian Dolcetto or Barbera.
