Ingredients

6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
8 tbsp salted butter
1 large shallot
4 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Steps

Warm the stock in a medium saucepan over low heat and keep it hot.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a 4-quart pot over medium heat, then cook the shallot and garlic for 4 minutes.
Stir in the rice and toast it for 2 minutes, then add the wine and cook until nearly absorbed, about 3 minutes.
Add the hot stock 1 cup at a time, stirring often and waiting until each cup is absorbed before adding more, about 25 minutes.
Stir in the remaining butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan.
Rest the risotto for 5 minutes, then stir once before serving.
