LEMON RISOTTO



Lemon Risotto image

An easy Lemon Risotto recipe. Lemon juice and peel offer a double punch of flavor in this delicious dish. Serve the risotto Italian-style as a first course, or American-style as a main course.

Categories     Rice     Side     Sauté     Parmesan     Lemon     White Wine     Spring     Bon Appétit     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 6 first-course or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, chopped
2 cups arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Bring broth to simmer in large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; cover to keep warm. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute. Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add 1 1/2 cups hot broth; simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until rice is creamy and tender, about 35 minutes. Stir in cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, and lemon peel. Season risotto with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and more flavorful your ingredients are, the better your risotto will be. Look for Arborio or Carnaroli rice, which are short-grain rices that hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid: This helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevents it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, so that the rice can absorb the liquid evenly.
  • Cook the risotto over low heat: This will help the rice to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Stir the risotto frequently: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to release the starch from the rice, which will give the risotto its creamy texture.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end: This will help to create a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Season the risotto to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

Spring risotto with shallots and lemon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light and flavorful meal. With its creamy texture, bright flavors, and beautiful presentation, this risotto is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy risotto, give this spring risotto with shallots and lemon a try. You won't be disappointed.
