Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 large shallot, diced small
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup Arborio or Carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1/2 cup carrot juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (1/4 ounce)
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a simmer; reduce heat and keep warm. In a 10-inch heavy- bottomed skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add shallot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until rice is translucent at edges, 1 minute.
  • Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 2 minutes. With a ladle, add about 1 cup broth to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed, 4 minutes. Repeat, gradually adding broth by the cupful and stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still al dente and sauce is creamy (you may not need all of broth), 20 to 25 minutes. Add carrot juice and stir until absorbed, 4 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, Parmesan, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

This risotto was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice.

This risotto was very bland. I was expecting more flavor from the carrot and lemon, but it just tasted like rice. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice. Otherwise, it was a good risotto.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this risotto. I'm not usually a fan of carrot dishes, but the lemon really brightened it up. I would definitely make this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the risotto turned out perfectly. It was creamy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of tanginess from the lemon. I served it with a simple green salad and it was a hit with my family.
