Lemon butter sauce, parmesan risotto & broccolini

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.

Cook the Onion

Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

Add the Rice

Pour in the broth, one cup at a time, stirring continuously. Wait until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 20 minutes.

Add Broth Gradually

Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.

Finish with Cheese

Season the sand dabs with salt and pepper. Dredge each filet in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with grated Parmesan cheese.

Prepare the Dabs

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sand dabs and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

Cook the Dabs

In the same skillet used for the sand dabs, add 4 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Sauté Garlic

Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley, then remove from heat.

Add Lemon Juice

In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccolini, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
