Tangy Tomato and Lemon Risotto

Yield:
6 servings

Ingredients:

  1. 4 cups chicken broth
  2. 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  3. 2 finely chopped shallots
  4. 1 cup uncooked medium grain or arborio rice
  5. 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  6. 1/4 cup lemon juice
  7. 1 Tablespoon lemon peel
Directions:

Heat broth in 2- quart saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook until soft. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; stir in 1 cup warm broth. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed.

Continue stirring and add remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding another. Cook until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, lemon juice and lemon peel. Serve immediately.
