Lemon Risotto with Asparagus and Peas image

If you would prefer a simple lemon risotto, omit the asparagus and peas.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 thin asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
1 cup thawed frozen peas
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a boil in a medium saucepan; turn off heat.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in another medium saucepan. Add onion; cook, stirring constantly, until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring constantly, until edges of grains are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, until wine has completely evaporated.
  • Add 1/2 cup stock; cook, stirring constantly, until stock has been completely absorbed and a wooden spoon drawn through rice leaves a trail in its wake. Continue adding about 4 more cups stock, 1/2 cup at a time, waiting for each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. (It should take about 13 minutes.)
  • Stir in the asparagus. Add 1/2 to 1 cup more stock, in same manner as described above. About 1 minute before risotto is done, stir in the peas. Risotto is done when liquid looks creamy and grains are cooked but still slightly firm in centers. (The total cooking time will be 16 to 20 minutes.)
  • Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup stock. (You may have stock left over.) Stir in zest, juice, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, parsley, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with more cheese.

EASY LEMON RISOTTO WITH PEAS



Easy Lemon Risotto With Peas image

I love risotto, but I hate standing over a hot stove stirring the simmering rice for half an hour, especially during hot Georgia summers. This recipe gives you all the flavor and gets you out of the kitchen fast! For an easy vegetarian dinner, serve the risotto with a side salad of mixed baby greens, walnuts and quartreed turkey figs, tossed with Sherry-Walnut Oil Vinaigrette. While you're putting the salad together, warm up a loaf of hot, crusty French bread in the oven.
