Lemony, but not over-powering. In my opinion, the perfect accompaniment to simply-prepared grilled fish, especially salmon.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups chicken broth
3 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, finely minced
2 cups arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons lemon zest, finely minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the broth to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
  • Melt 1 1/2 TBS butter with the olive oil in a large heavy sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Add shallots to this and saute until tender, (3-5 minutes).
  • Add rice and stir for 1 minute.
  • Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups hot broth, and simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  • Ladle in the 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.
  • You will use all the broth, and the key is to do this simmering slowly; it will take about 35-40 minutes.
  • When all the broth has been absorbed, stir in the cheese and remaining 2 TBS butter.
  • Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, and zest.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly but my risotto turned out too soupy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The risotto was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This risotto was a bit too lemony for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less lemon juice next time.

This lemon risotto was a delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the lemon adding a bright and zesty note to the creamy risotto. The texture was also spot-on, with the rice cooked to al dente perfection.
