Lemon Parmesan Rosemary Risotto

Course Main Course
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 white onion
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 heaping cup (280 g) carnaroli or arborio rice
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 6 tbsp (80 g) butter
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 cups (1 liter) vegetable stock
  • 1 block freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Dice the onion and cook in a large pot with 1 tbsp of butter and a pinch salt.
  • Remove the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and finely chop (I like to use a blender).
  • When the onion is cooked (after a few minutes) add the rosemary and rice.
  • Turn up the heat, add the wine and stir until most absorbed.
  • Add 2 tbsp of butter, zest from the lemon, the parmesan rind and 1 cup of the vegetable stock. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring pretty consistently, until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  • Continue to slowly add the vegetable stock while consistently stirring.
  • When there is about ½ cup of vegetable stock left, add the remaining butter and vegetable stock.
  • Add the grated parmesan. Continue to stir until the liquid has absorbed and the rice is cooked al dente. Remove the parmesan rind.
  • Serve immediately with fresh parmesan, lemon zest and rosemary if desired.
