Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 Spanish onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine (or use chicken stock)
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for topping
Grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 1 teaspoon juice
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and a touch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes.

  • Divide the risotto among shallow bowls. Drizzle with olive oil, top with the lemon zest and more chives, and season with salt and pepper.

PARMESAN LEMON HERB BROWN RICE



Parmesan Lemon Herb Brown Rice image

This is adapted from a photo copy from a book or magazine. It says "The Best Light Recipe" at the top. My notes were to increase the lemon and decrease the basil. So I offered that below. Please use fresh lemon and herbs. Using the oven method gives you a fluffy and chewy brown rice instead of wet and soupy or burnt and crunchy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice has a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lemon juice. It also contains more nutrients, like vitamin C.
  • Grate the Parmesan cheese yourself. Pre-grated Parmesan cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can give it a gritty texture. Grating the cheese yourself ensures that it melts smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Minute rice cooks very quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully. Overcooked rice will be mushy and bland.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, like basil, oregano, or thyme, can add a nice pop of flavor to the rice.
  • Serve the rice with your favorite protein and vegetables. This dish is a great side dish for chicken, fish, or tofu. It also goes well with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Lemon parmesan minute rice is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its bright, citrusy flavor and cheesy goodness, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. .
