Method
1 Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for about five minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for two more minutes. Add the bacon and fry until it starts to get crispy.
2 Add the rice and cook, stirring, for a few minutes until it is slightly toasted. Add about 235ml of stock and cook, stirring, until it has been absorbed into the rice. Repeat this process with the remaining stock and the white wine.
