Preperation and cooking times
Ready in 1 hour- Heat the stock in a pan and add the broad beans, cook for 3 minutes then scoop them out.
- Melt a large knob of butter in a large pan and fry the onion and bacon for about 5 minutes until the onion is tender, add the garlic and cook for a minute. Stir in the rice, coating every grain in butter. Add the wine and stir until it has been absorbed, then add the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring until it has been absorbed but so that the risotto is still wet enough to just hold its shape. Season. Stir in another knob of butter and half of the broad beans.
- Spoon the risotto into bowls and top with more broad beans and pecorino.
