Creamy, comforting, and surprisingly simple, this lemon garlic risotto gets rich, restaurant quality flavor from Heirloom Scampi Blend, bright lemon, savory garlic, and Parmesan cheese. The perfect side dish for seafood, chicken, or satisfying enough to enjoy on its own.
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons oil
-
½ yellow onion, finely diced
-
1 ½ cups arborio rice
-
3 cloves garlic
-
½ cup white wine
-
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
-
4 tablespoons butter
-
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
-
zest of 1 lemon
-
1 tablespoon Scampi Blend
Directions
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until translucent.
Add rice and cook, stirring often, until lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
Add white wine and cook until absorbed by the rice.
Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until rice is al dente.
Remove pan from heat and stir in butter, parmesan, lemon zest, and Scampi Blend until completely incorporated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with fresh herbs if desired.
