Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 large shallot, diced small
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup Arborio or Carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1/2 cup carrot juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (1/4 ounce)
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a simmer; reduce heat and keep warm. In a 10-inch heavy- bottomed skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add shallot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until rice is translucent at edges, 1 minute.
  • Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 2 minutes. With a ladle, add about 1 cup broth to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed, 4 minutes. Repeat, gradually adding broth by the cupful and stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still al dente and sauce is creamy (you may not need all of broth), 20 to 25 minutes. Add carrot juice and stir until absorbed, 4 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, Parmesan, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out really gummy. I think I might have added too much liquid. Other than that, the flavors were good.

This risotto was a disaster! The rice was overcooked and the sauce was too thin. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this risotto to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning. I also think it would have been better with some Parmesan cheese stirred in at the end.

This risotto was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice. Otherwise, it was a well-made dish.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this risotto. I'm not usually a fan of carrots, but they were perfectly cooked and added a nice sweetness to the dish. The lemon flavor was also very refreshing. I would definitely make this again.
