This was my first attempt at risotto and it turned out delicious. Everyone at the table of 8 enjoyed it. It takes a lot of attention, so I would not recommend trying to make this while you are making anything else that requires your attention or make sure you have a good helper.

This was very good. It takes a while to make, but it is well worth the time. Slow cooking is the answer.

Sooooo good! I love risotto and this was great! I didn't put in the lemon zest because my lemons skin didn't look good, but it was lemony enough without it. I also couldn't help myself and put some garlic in ! I'd make this again. I served with fish but it would be good with chicken too. Thanks!

My first risotto, cooked this to have with a breaded white fish. Great flavour and easy to cook, although yes it does take some time. Will definitely make this again. I omitted the parmesan after reading the reviews and deciding I just wanted the lemon taste rather than cheese.

This was really good! Like some other reviewers, next time I wouldn't use so much parmesan - it overpowered the lemon. I used all chicken broth with no water and it did take me about 45 minutes over the stove to finish, but totally worth it! Served it with roast chicken and a salad...

Great recipe. I tried it for a dinner party, I had made a lamb dish and a chicken dish and wanted a light but flavorful rice that could accompany it. This was really really good. I doubled the recipe, I had 8 adults and it was the perfect amount. I don't know that I used all the water, I did go through 4 cups of broth (double recipe) but I lost count with the water. I just kept adding until the rice was cooked through. I liked the parmesan, don't know if I would add that next time though, made it a little too cheesy. LOVED the lemon flavor. The nice thing about it is that it is very versatile, you can add chunks of chicken to this and some mixed veggies and it would be delicious. It did take a while since I doubled my recipe, almost an hour of literally standing over the rice and stirring, etc. I would highly recommend this. If you've never tried to make risotto this is a great starting point.

Great lemon taste! I will add garlic next time and you could easily mix in green veggies.

So good! I don't usally have white wine around so this was a good Risotto to make. I made it once and served it with shrimp. Tonight I made it and stirred in chopped spinach at the end. Wonderful! Thanks so much!

This was good, but I found that the recipe called for way too much onion, I used only half of one and it still seemed like too much. I would also recommend less parmesan, as I totally overpowerd the lemon.
Next time I will try it with dill.
Thanks!

This was the first time I ever made risotto and it was so good. I doubled the recipe so it took much longer than 25 minutes to cook. But, the wait was worth it. Having it now (the next day) warmed up with some beef tenderloin mixed in. Wow!

Great recipe! I was glad to find a risotto recipe that didn't call for wine, as I don't often cook with it. I did not put any lemon zest in mine, as I wanted a more subtle lemon flavor. Instead, I doubled the fresh lemon juice. I also didn't end up needing the second cup of water or salt (the broth and parmesan added enough saltiness). I probably only ended up using half a cup (at the most) of cheese (it was a parmesan cheese blend), and that was plenty. I served this with salmon baked with lemon juice, garlic and fennel, so instead of the parsley, I put in some chopped up fennel fronds. Wonderful!

we loved this one! everyone was expecting boring chicken flavored risotto and were they suprised! Come to think of it, nobody even mentioned anything else we had with it! Made it with a bit more broth (we like it very creamy) and it turned out perfect.

Very good recipe, nice lemon flavor and creamy texture. I made this as a side dish for grilled garlic shrimp and teriyaki glazed chicken. There was something lacking though - maybe I didn't add enough salt/ pepper or because I didn't use fresh parsley? Anyhow- very tasty recipe; I plan on making this again.
