- Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in another medium saucepan. Add onion; cook, stirring constantly, until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes.

- Add 1/2 cup stock; cook, stirring constantly, until stock has been completely absorbed and a wooden spoon drawn through rice leaves a trail in its wake.

EASY LEMON RISOTTO WITH PEAS
I love risotto, but I hate standing over a hot stove stirring the simmering rice for half an hour, especially during hot Georgia summers. This recipe gives you all the flavor and gets you out of the kitchen fast! For an easy vegetarian dinner, serve the risotto with a side salad of mixed baby greens, walnuts and quartreed turkey figs, tossed with Sherry-Walnut Oil Vinaigrette. While you're putting the salad together, warm up a loaf of hot, crusty French bread in the oven.

Tips:
- Use a good quality risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli, and Vialone Nano are all good choices.
- Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This helps to develop the flavor of the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid gradually, stirring constantly. This helps to prevent the rice from clumping together.
- Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente. The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Stir in the lemon zest, juice, and peas at the end of cooking. This will brighten up the flavor of the risotto and add a pop of color.
- Serve the risotto immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese.
