Directions
In a large pot over medium heat, sear the pancetta until it is crispy and browned. About 5 minutes.
Add your diced onions and cook until they have turned translucent. Stirring semi-frequently. About 5 minutes.
Add your rice and stir until evenly distributed with the onions and bacon. You want to coat each grain of rice in the fat that has been rendered off the pancetta.
Add your white wine and deglaze the bottom of the pot. Make sure to loosen as many sticky bits off the bottom of the pot as possible.
Once the wine has evaporated, turn your heat down to medium-low. Add half of your chicken broth and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the stock has been absorbed by the rice. Add the rest of the chicken broth and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir the rice throughout the cooking process to release the starches and create a creamy finished product.
Add the cheese and corn. Stir until the corn is defrosted and the cheese has melted into the risotto.
Mix in the fresh chives. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve it with more chives or shaved parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
