LEMON-PARMESAN RISOTTO
There's so much more to this lemon risotto dish than meets the eye! Italian Arborio rice simmers with butter, wine and broth until the liquid is absorbed into the rice turning it creamy and creating the perfect risotto consistency-not too runny or mushy, but just right. Next, lemon juice, zest and Parmesan cheese are stirred into the pot to boost the flavor. Finally, a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and cracked black pepper make for a perfect finish. So, you see, there's no need to be intimidated by risotto. Master this 35-minute recipe, and it's sure to become a part of your regular rotation!

Steps:
- In 2-quart saucepan, heat broth, water and salt to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low to keep broth warm.
- In 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, heat butter and oil over medium heat until butter stops sizzling. Stir in rice until coated and heat, stirring constantly, until kernels are slightly translucent around edges. Add wine and heat 3 minutes longer, stirring constantly, until rice absorbs liquid.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir well. Add 1 cup broth (a 1/2-cup ladle works well for adding the broth) to rice so there is just enough to barely cover the rice. Continue cooking and stirring about 5 minutes or until rice has absorbed most of the broth. Add another 1 cup broth and cook about 5 minutes longer, stirring constantly, until broth is almost absorbed. Repeat twice, adding 1 cup broth each time and cooking until broth is almost absorbed and rice is al dente (firm to the bite) and creamy. Stir in cheese, lemon peel and lemon juice. Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley.
