1.Bring stock to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan.
2.Meanwhile, melt 30g of the butter in a large, heavy-based pan. Add onion, garlic and bacon; cook, stirring, until onion is soft. Add the rice, stir to coat well with the onion mixture; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add wine, simmer, uncovered, until liquid has evaporated.
3.Stir in 1/2 cup of the hot stock; cook, stirring, over medium heat, until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring between each addition, until all but 1/2 cup of liquid has been absorbed (this step should take about 20 minutes).
4.Stir in peas and remaining stock; stir until peas are hot. Add extra bacon to a small frying pan; cook until browned and crisp. Break into pieces.
5.Stir in parmesan, chopped mint and the remaining butter. Season to taste. Top risotto with crisp bacon, extra parmesan and mint leaves.
