Pour the apple cider and water into medium saucepan and set over medium-low heat.
In a large skillet, heat the oil and saute the onion and pancetta together until they start to caramelize.
Add the rice and stir until it begins to toast. Slowly add the cider/water liquid to the rice mixture, one ladle at a time, stirring well and adding more liquid only when the rice soaks up most of what is already in the skillet.
Continue this process, stirring constantly, until the apple cider/water mixture is gone and rice is tender.
Serve with seared scallops or your choice of protein.
