Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Bring broth to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan.
  2. Keep broth warm over very low heat.
  3. Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Add olive oil, then diced apples and saute until tender, about 6 minutes then add garlic.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer apples to a cutting board. Cut pancetta into a small dice and add to saucepan.
  6. Render pancetta down until just crispy and transfer to a paper towel. Stir in rice and let it toast for a few minutes.
  7. Add wine to deglaze and get all of that pancetta goodness into the rice and cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes.
  8. Add 1 cup of hot broth and simmer over medium-low heat until liquid is absorbed, stirring carefully and often, about 3 minutes.
  9. Continue to cook until rice is just tender and mixture is creamy (not dry), adding more broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 25 minutes (the rice will absorb 5-8 cups of broth).
  10. Stir in crispy pancetta and Blue cheese just before plating.
  11. Stir to incorporate.
  12. Plate up immediately and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and toasted walnuts as a great complement.
  13. Number of Servings: 6-8
