Steps:
- Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot over high heat.
- Add rice and onion.
- Boil until rice is just tender, about 16 minutes.
- Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
- Mix parsley, butter, basil, lemon juice, and lemon peel in large bowl.
- Add hot rice mixture, stir to melt butter.
- Add reserved 1/2 cup cooking liquid and 1 cup cheese; stir.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese.
- Garnish with basil sprigs and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Use Arborio or Carnaroli rice for a creamy and flavorful risotto.
- Toast the rice. Toasting the rice in butter or oil before adding the liquid helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid gradually. Add the liquid to the rice in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
- Stir frequently. Stir the risotto constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente. The risotto should be cooked until it is creamy and the rice is al dente, with a slight bite to it. This will take about 18-20 minutes.
- Season to taste. Season the risotto with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs, to taste.
- Serve immediately. Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. Leftover risotto can be reheated, but it may not be as creamy as when it was first made.
Conclusion:
Creamy Parmesan risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect risotto that will impress your friends and family.
