Method
step 1
Heat a little oil in a wide pan and fry the onion gently for a few minutes until soft, add the garlic and half of the bacon and fry everything together. Add the rice and stir well and then add the stock a couple of ladles at a time, stirring each lot in until it is completely absorbed and the risotto is creamy but still retains a little bite (you might not need to use all of the stock).
step 2
Meanwhile, heat another pan with a little oil and cook the remaining bacon with the tomatoes over a high heat until browned. Spoon over the risotto to serve.
