Number Of Ingredients 9

8 to 10 cups chicken or vegetable stock
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large leeks, white part only, well washed and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups Arborio rice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons lemon zest (4 lemons), plus more for garnish
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat stock in a medium saucepan, and keep warm over low heat.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium straight-sided saute pan over low heat. Add leeks, and cook, covered, until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add rice, and raise heat to medium-high, stirring often for 3 minutes.
  • Add about 1/2 cup hot stock, or just barely enough to cover rice. Cook, stirring, until stock has almost completely absorbed. Add lemon zest, stirring to combine. Continue cooking and stirring rice in this manner, adding 1/2 cup stock at a time, for 15 to 20 minutes. At this point the rice should be tender but still a bit firm to the bite. Stir in lemon juice. Season well with salt and pepper. Add chives, and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until it melts. Serve hot, sprinkled with Parmesan and lemon zest.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but this risotto was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and well-balanced.

This was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with less butter and Parmesan cheese next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out way too sour. I think I might have added too much lemon juice.

Not enough lemon flavor. I added extra lemon zest and juice, but it still wasn't lemony enough for me.

Not a fan. The lemon flavor was overpowering, and the risotto was too tart for my taste.
