I often make risotto. It's ridiculously simple and you can make it with whatever you have in your fridge. I often make it with bacon, onion and peas. Here's what you do

- dice the bacon and put it in a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients. Let it cook for a while so some of the fat melts.
- dice an onion and put it in. Cook for a minute.
- put in a cup of risotto rice and let them cook for a minute.
- add 1½ cup of hot water
- add some grated parmesan cheese
- season with salt and pepper

Now it has to cook for about 20 minutes until the rice is ready. You have to stir it once in a while so it doesn't burn. Add more water if it gets too dry.

After about 10 minutes I add some frozen peas.

Sometimes I make it with canned tomatoes, tuna and shrimp instead. When I do that, I cut back a bit on the water because there's a lot of water in the tomatoes.

Yesterday I made it with bacon, onion and chanterelles. That's a nice autumn dish.
