Ingredients

1/4 cup of butter

1 small onion chopped

1 slice of bacon diced

1 stalk of celery chopped

2 cups of peas

1/2 cup diced cooked ham

3/4 cup of rice, short grain

1 3/4 cups of chicken stock

1 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese

Directions

In a heavy sauce pan, heat butter. Add onion, bacon and celery, saute for 5 minutes, until onion is golden and bacon is cooked.

Add peas and 1/2 cup of ham. Cook a couple of minutes.

Add rice and stir well to coat each grain with some of the butter, a few minutes at best.

Add stock and seasonings. Bring to a rapid boil, cover and turn the heat to low and cook very slowly for 25 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is nearly absorbed.

The rice and peas should be quite moist at this point.

Stir in parmesan cheese and serve.

Pass extra parmesan to add to individual servings if desired.

Great post. This is a very good variation of traditional Risi E Bisi, rice and peas. But note the short grain rice. Anyone making this dish should use that, just as it is in the recipe. And don't wash it. Washing would remove starch and starch is needed. The butter will coat the rice and help keep the grains separate. Some recipes use Arborio, or a risotto rice. This is good stuff. If you haven't cooked this, it's worth a try. The variations are many. Some use pancetti, mushrooms, whatever. It's good.

Yum! I usually make a version with no meat, but really... bacon makes everything taste better!

Yummm. haven't seen actual ham added before. we usually eat risi e bisi as a little starter as its quite soupy (thick soupy). i think its odd ive never seen it in an italian restaurant. truly a keeper! thanks!

Great recipe, the version I have doesn't include bacon or celery but that stuff would make anything taste better!
