I found this recipe at epicurious.com and it is lovely. The risotto has a light and clear lemon flavor and the touch of white wine enhances it. This can be served as an entree for four or side dish for six.
Ingredients
- 6 cups low-salt chicken broth shopping list
- 3 1/2 TBSP butter shopping list
- 1 1/2 TBSP olive oil shopping list
- 2 large shallots, peeled and chopped shopping list
- 2 cups arborio rice shopping list
- 1/4 cup white wine shopping list
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- 2 TBSP chopped fresh parsley shopping list
- 2 TBSP fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 4 tsp. grated lemon zest shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cover it to keep it warm.
- Meanwhile, melt half the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and lightly saute' them until tender. Add the rice and stir to coat.
- Add the wine and stir until it evaporates.
- Add the broth 1 1/2 cups at a time, stirring until the broth is fairly well absorbed and the rice is tender and it looks creamy.
- Stir in the cheese and the rest of the butter until blended in.
- Mix in the lemon juice, zest, and parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- I like to microwave the lemon for 30 seconds - it is much easier to get all of the juice this way.

Another good trick for getting out all the lemon juice: roll it around under your palm for a while.

It's best if you actually sauté the rice until it goes opaque before adding the wine. Otherwise, this is a wonderful and genuine risotto recipe and thanks for posting it!
