Instructions

  • Cook diced pancetta in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tbsp of fat in the pan.
  • Add olive oil if needed, then cook finely diced onion or shallots for 2–3 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  • Add Arborio rice and toast for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the edges become slightly translucent.
  • Pour in white wine and stir until mostly absorbed.
  • Add warm broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to absorb before adding more. Continue for 18–22 minutes until rice is creamy and just al dente.
  • Stir in butter, grated parmesan, and optional cream and corn. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
  • Gently fold in the chowder mix and simmer 4–6 minutes until seafood is just cooked through and tender.
  • Finish with lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Spoon into bowls and top with crispy pancetta before serving.
