- to taste
- Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup, freshly grated, plus extra for garnish
- Lemon
- 2, zest and juice

Instructions
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Arborio rice, making sure each grain is coated in the oil and butter mixture.
- Pour in the white wine, stirring continuously until the rice has absorbed it.
- Gradually add the chicken broth, one cup at a time. Stir constantly, allowing each addition to be fully absorbed before adding the next cup of broth.
- Once the rice is tender and the broth has been absorbed, stir in the zest and juice of the lemons.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Season your risotto with salt and black pepper, adjusting to your personal preference.
- Serve the risotto hot, garnished with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese and a touch of lemon zest for added zing.

- For an extra creamy risotto, stir in a spoonful of mascarpone cheese just before serving.
