- 2 leek finely chopped (approximately 1 cup
- 2 garlic crushed, cloves
- 2 cups arborio rice
- 1 cup white wine
- 4-6 cups chicken stock
- 3 tbsp mascarpone
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions
- Place the bacon in a cold deep pan. Set the pan over medium heat and allow to cook, letting the fat render from the bacon, until the bacon is done to your preference.
- Remove the bacon and set aside. Pour the fat from the pan, leaving 1-2 tablespoons behind.
- In the same pan you cooked the bacon, add the leeks and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the rice and stir, cooking for a minute. Pour in the wine and cook until absorbed, stirring regularly.
- Add the stock, one ladle at a time, cooking and stirring continuously until the rice is cooked to your preference. This will take 20-25 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked, stir in the mascarpone, Parmesan and bacon then season to taste.
- Serve with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley.
