EASY LEMON RISOTTO WITH PEAS



Easy Lemon Risotto With Peas image

I love risotto, but I hate standing over a hot stove stirring the simmering rice for half an hour, especially during hot Georgia summers. This recipe gives you all the flavor and gets you out of the kitchen fast! For an easy vegetarian dinner, serve the risotto with a side salad of mixed baby greens, walnuts and quartreed turkey figs, tossed with Sherry-Walnut Oil Vinaigrette. While you're putting the salad together, warm up a loaf of hot, crusty French bread in the oven.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Basmati rice is the traditional choice for lemon rice, but you can also use other long-grain rices like Sona Masoori or Jasmine rice.
  • Soak the rice: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove excess starch and results in fluffier rice.
  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon juice and zest add the best flavor to lemon rice. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Lemon rice is best when the rice is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy.
  • Add the lemon juice and zest at the end: Adding the lemon juice and zest at the end of the cooking process preserves their flavor and prevents them from becoming bitter.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro, mint, or parsley add a pop of color and flavor to lemon rice.
  • Serve hot or cold: Lemon rice can be served hot or cold. It's a great side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Lemon rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright and tangy flavor, lemon rice is a refreshing change from plain rice and is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
