Ingredients

Make the basic risotto as described in the link below.

When the risotto is cooked to your liking, add the canned tomatoes and smoked paprika and simmer for a further 10 minutes before removing from the heat and folding through the Parmesan and butter.

Pan-fry the remaining lardons until crisp, then scatter over the risotto and serve topped with chopped parsley.
