Old favourite - butternut squash, leek and bacon risotto

Haven't made this in ages - don't know why, it's so delicious.  It's butternut squash, leek and bacon risotto which I had with green beans.

It's so quick and easy to make - first of all you stir fry one chopped leek and 200g chopped bacon in a large frying pan (I used garlic fry light), for 2-3 minutes

 Next, add the diced butternut squash (400g), 3 or 4 crushed garlic cloves and 250g  risotto rice, and stir fry for a further 2-3 minutes

Add a ladleful of the 850ml boiling hot chicken stock, and stir and cook until fully absorbed. Continue to add the rest of the stock in the same way until all the stock has been added, and the rice is creamy and al dente and the squash is tender. This should take around 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 4 tbsp of chopped chives (which I forgot to do here!) and serve with veg of choice - I had green beans.

It's syn free, and this serves 4 people - absolutely delicious.
