On Barefoot Bloggers this week, Kimberly from Indulge & Enjoy has chosen Spring Green Risotto. This is a great recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. It starts with lots of goodies like leeks and fennel.
Ina uses alot more “greens” in her risotto than I did – she calls for asparagus (which I’m already tired of) and green onions (which I neglected to buy). Even with the omissions, I ended up with a delicious, lemony risotto.
A word of warning about this recipe – I used HALF the amount of pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest as recommended and, in my opinion, the dish still had plenty of lemon and pepper. So, be careful there!
I hope you enjoy this recipe (which can be found in Back to Basics on page 147) as much as I did. It’s another “keeper” from the Barefoot Contessa. Thanks for the great pick, Kimberly!
It’s Thyme To Eat!
