Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 sprigs fresh thyme
Zest of 3 lemons, removed with a vegetable peeler
3 large rinds Parmesan cheese
1 bay leaf
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped chives
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

Simmer for 20 minutes, skimming the surface as needed. Strain, discarding the solids and reserving the liquid.

Add 1 cup of the lemon Parmesan broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is nearly absorbed. Continue to cook, adding more broth by the cup and stirring often, until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, about 25 minutes total. Finish with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chives and grated Parmesan, if using.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter, plus 1 tablespoon
1 large shallot, diced
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
1/2 a lemon, zested amd juiced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 lemons, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan bring the broth and 1/2 cup water to a simmer. Cover the broth and keep hot over low heat.
  • In a medium, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until tender but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the butter. Add the wine and simmer until the wine has almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking the rice, adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of the broth to absorb before adding the next, until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite and the mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, mascarpone cheese, the lemon zest and juice, and the salt and pepper.
  • To serve, cut 1/4-inch off the bottom of each lemon so they stand on their own. Take 1-inch off the stem end. Using a grapefruit spoon scoop out the flesh of the lemon and discard. Fill each lemon with about 1/2 cup of risotto. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Serve immediately.

LEMON-RICOTTA FRITTERS WITH LEMON CURD



Lemon-Ricotta Fritters with Lemon Curd image

The batter for these cloudlike fritters is flecked with lemon zest for a flavor that's subtle rather than sharp. A side of cool, satiny lemon curd for dipping reinforces the citrus theme -- and almost upstages the main event.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 large egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
4 ounces (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 cups vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
4 large eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pound ricotta cheese, drained
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the curd: Prepare an ice-water bath. Combine yolks, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and add butter, stirring until it melts. Immediately strain through a fine sieve into a nonreactive bowl. Set bowl over ice-water bath, and place plastic wrap directly onto the surface of curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
  • Make the fritters: Heat oil in a medium saucepan to 350 degrees. Sift flours, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl.
  • Mix together eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until just combined. Add ricotta, lemon zest, and vanilla, and stir until well combined. Add flour mixture, and stir until smooth.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, carefully drop a few balls of dough into oil. Cook, turning 2 to 3 times, until golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain temperature of oil. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough. Place on a plate, and dust with confectioners' sugar. Transfer curd to a serving bowl, and serve with fritters.

LEMON RISOTTO

LEMON-AND-PARSLEY RISOTTO



Lemon-and-Parsley Risotto image

Ready for a risotto master class? Our test kitchen's foolproof recipe turns out perfectly al dente rice with a rich, creamy sauce every time. Lemon zest and juice, plus plenty of fresh parsley, give it a bright boost, while Parmesan adds a welcome hit of umami.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion (from 1 small)
1 1/2 cups short-grain Italian rice, such as arborio
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine broth, 2 cups water, lemon zest, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until translucent and grains begin to make a popping sound, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine; cook until mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Ladle 1 cup broth mixture into skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon at a moderate speed until most of broth is absorbed and bottom of skillet stays visible for a second or two as you mix, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue ladling broth into skillet, about 1/2 cup at a time (or enough to just cover rice). Stir slowly but constantly, allowing rice to absorb most of broth before adding more. Risotto is ready when rice is al dente and broth has thickened to a rich sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. (You may not need to use all of broth.)
  • Remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon juice, and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Top with parsley and more cheese; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with more pepper to serve. If the risotto becomes stiff before serving, stir in more hot broth, a little at a time, until it's loose and creamy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. The fresher the lemons, the brighter and more flavorful your risotto fritters will be.
  • Don't overcook the risotto. The risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked risotto will make the fritters mushy.
  • Let the risotto cool completely before forming the fritters. This will help the fritters hold their shape better.
  • Use a light hand when frying the fritters. Don't overcrowd the pan, and don't stir the fritters too much. This will help them stay crispy.
  • Serve the fritters immediately with the lemon-cilantro dipping sauce. The dipping sauce adds a bright, refreshing flavor that complements the crispy fritters perfectly.
