Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Sweat the finely chopped shallots and the chopped garlic in the butter. Add the rice and let it turn to glass. Add the bay leaves, pour in the broth and wine. Stir occasionally and let cook for 18-20 minutes. Caution: You always have to add a little more broth, otherwise there is a risk of scorching.
  2. Cut the bacon into cubes and fry until crispy. Add the parmesan and olive oil to the risotto and season with salt and pepper. Fold the bacon under the risotto just before serving.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
