Lemon Risotto

Made this for my husband even though he's not a great fan of risotto, after this he decided he loved risotto!

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.

This is my first time to review a recipe and I have been using Recipezaar for many years. This is a fantastic! My husband craves it now and it goes well with so many dishes. I highly recommend it with roasted chicken and any fish, although by itself is wonderful too. I really had to be disciplined no to eat the whole pan of it myself!!

Absolutely delicious. I am giving it 4 stars only because the amt. of chicken broth needed to be increased to 4.5 cups- and the cooking time was a bit longer. The flavor was reallllly yummy. We really enjoyed it! Thanks for a really great risotto recipe!!!

Everyone LOVED this recipe. I used a different rice but it didn't matter. I didn't have the lemon zest or parsley and just used lemon juice from a bottle. I look forward to trying it again with ALL the ingredients. Next time I will have to make a double batch. That is how good it was!

All I can say is delicious! And stir, stir, stir - careful, of course, not to crush your risotto or cook it until it gets mushy. I try to cut down on the butter, lemon (I only prefer a hint of lemon, and typically I leave the zest out altogether), reduce the cheese (to about 1/4 cup at most), and leave out the parsley. This is one of the best risotto recipes ever.

This is the first time making a risotto but won't be the last. I loved the lemon flavor. I made half a recipe and only had a little leftover. Served with Jumbo Shrimp Parmesan and Roasted Asparagus. Delicious meal.

Made this last night and followed the recipe to a "T". It was just wonderful served with pork chops and salad. Tonight I'll serve it again only with chicken. Thanks for a refreshing post.

Excellent! I followed the recipe as written, except I also added some Saffron. My BF enjoyed it and I will be making this again for sure. Thank you for sharing!

Definately a five star dish. We loved this. I used a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to saute the onion. I also added 1/2 cup of white wine to the rice before adding the chicken broth. I also used all broth instead of half broth and half water. The dish turned out perfectly and was wonderful served with Chicken saute with lemon dill and feta.

You sure don't need any more 5 star reviews but had to add my own. I've always been really nervous about even trying a Risotto as I've heard they are difficult. But your instructions made it a breeze and the flavors are a perfect blend. I did cut the recipe in half as it's only me at home right now and it still turned out perfect. I'll be making this often. Thanks Marth for a great recipe.

This was a fabulous side dish with Baked Salmon, but I would gladly eat this risotto alone for my meal! Served with grilled asparagus and caesar salad. Thanks for posting!

The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I halved the recipe just for myself and my husband and ended up adding maybe 1/4 c or so more water towards the end. This also had a lovely blend of flavors--the parsley keeps this from being too heavy. This is a keeper!

I added a little more water and used dried Italian Seasoning insted of the parsley, really kicked it up. Also used grated swiss cheese to replace the parmesan, and it was very good.
