Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white onion finely diced
  • 1/2 cup vermouth or white wine
  • 3 cups arborio rice
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup parmesan finely grated
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Heat 8 cups broth to a simmer, turn the heat down and keep hot on the stove.
  • In medium sized heavy pot heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add in the onions and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stir, and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the vermouth and cook until it’s mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  • Start to ladle in the broth about a cup at a time, letting each addition cook until mostly absorbed, stirring often.
  • Repeat until rice is cooked to al dente (you may not need all the broth).
  • Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, parmesan and butter. Stir well until all is incorporated.
  • Season well with salt and pepper.

Notes

*Can use water instead of broth.
