Creamy Bacon Risotto

Ingredients:
½ lb Thick Cut Bacon, coarsely chopped
1 Large Shallot, minced
¼ tsp Fine Sea Salt
⅛ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
½ cup Dry White Wine
1 cup Arborio or Caraoroli Rice
4 cups Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
¼ cup Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, plus more for serving
2 Tbsp Dry Sherry
½ cup Frozen Baby Green Peas
Directions:
Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Transfer to paper towels to drain, leaving drippings in pan.
Add shallot, salt and pepper to drippings, then stir 2 minutes. Add rice and stir 4 minutes. Add wine and stir until liquid has evaporated. Add one ladle of broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed. Repeat with remaining broth, one ladle at a time. When rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed, add bacon, cheese and sherry. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove from heat and gently stir in peas. Serve immediately with additional cheese.
