Bright, creamy, and flavorful, this lemon risotto is all about showing off the citrus. Risotto takes a bit of time to make, but really it is a sensational dish and one that is always impressive to serve. It’s one of those classic recipes that turns simple, mundane ingredients, like rice and lemons, into an elegant dish.
Use the best ingredients you can find. Arborio rice is essential, freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese is a must. Use a dry white wine, such as pinot grigio, and fresh lemons. A touch of cream at the end melds all the ingredients together into a memorable dish.
