method
1. Heat the oil with half the butter. Add the pancetta (Italian unsmoked bacon) and onion, and fry for 5 minutes. Add the stock (and fresh peas if using) and bring to the boil.
2. Stir in the rice and season to taste with pepper. Cook until the rice is tender, about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the parsley and frozen or canned petits pois and cook for 8 minutes until the peas are thoroughly heated.
4. Stir in the remaining butter and the Parmesan. Serve immediately, with freshly ground black pepper.
