Citrus Risotto

Method

Citrus Risotto

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Toast the Rice

    Add the arborio rice to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. 3

    Add Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine and cook until it has mostly evaporated.

  4. 4

    Cook the Risotto

    Gradually add the vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Citrus Zest and Cheese

    Stir in the orange and lemon zest, and grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
