Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, bring water to boil; reduce heat to low and keep warm.In large deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry pancetta until starting to crisp. Add onion; sauté until softened and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add radicchio and rice; sauté until radicchio is wilted and rice is coated, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine (if using) until absorbed.
Add water, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time, stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more, about 20 minutes total. Taste before adding last 1/2 cup (125 mL); rice should be loose, creamy but not mushy, and still slightly firm in centre.
Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan, butter, vinegar, salt and pepper.
