Instructions
-
Step 1
Pour the vegetable stock into the saucepan and warm it over low heat for 10 minutes; keep it hot without boiling.
-
Step 2
Finely dice the yellow onion on the cutting board with the chef's knife. Zest both lemon pieces with the zester before juicing them with the citrus juicer, and reserve the zest and juice.
-
Step 3
Heat 30.0 ml of olive oil in the heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and 2.0 gr of salt. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent, stir in the Arborio rice, and toast for 2 minutes until the grains look glossy.
-
Step 4
Ladle 300.0 ml of the hot vegetable stock into the heavy-bottomed pot and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 6 minutes until nearly absorbed.
-
Step 5
Ladle 350.0 ml more of the hot vegetable stock into the pot and simmer for 6 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is plump and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
-
Step 6
Add the remaining 350.0 ml of hot vegetable stock and simmer for 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the Arborio rice is tender but still has a slight firm bite and the risotto flows slowly from the spoon.
-
Step 7
Remove the heavy-bottomed pot from the heat and stir in 15.0 ml of olive oil, the reserved lemon zest, about 60.0 ml of lemon juice, and the remaining 2.0 gr of salt. Rest for 2 minutes, then stir until glossy and serve while creamy.
