Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook for 2 minutes until translucent but not browned. Stir in arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes until grains are slightly translucent around the edges.
  2. Step 2: Pour in white wine and simmer, stirring constantly, until fully absorbed (about 3 minutes). Add 1 cup of hot broth and stir until absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and waiting for absorption before adding more.
  3. Step 3: After 20 minutes of simmering, rice should be creamy but still firm. Stir in remaining butter, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and salt. Cook for 2 more minutes until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, and serve immediately.
