Very good basic recipe, although the measurements require a bit of tweaking! I make risotto quite often, so I have gotten pretty good at finding that perfect creamy consistency, and with the few changes I made, I got it! I did not use any butter, but instead I used all olive oil (about 3 T was enough), and then I added about 3/4 C onion (1 small), 3 chopped cloves of garlic, and sauteed over medium heat for about 5 minutes before adding the wine. I did add 1/2 C wine, and cooked for a few minutes over medium until most had evaporated, then started adding my chicken broth (3 cans was the perfect amount, by the way) about 1/2 C at a time until it began to get creamy, but still had a slight bite to it. (This took about 20 minutes or so, but judge by texture more than time.) Then I added about 1/2 C cream (I think a cup is way too much for only 1 1/2 C rice), 1/2 C fresh grated parm (it needed more then just 2 T), salt and pepper, the 2 T lemon juice, and the steamed broccoli (4 minutes in the microwave is perfect). Add a bit of extra cream if it seems dry at this point. All in all, great recipe; the lemon and broccoli with the creaminess of the rice was delicious!!!

This was a really tasty risotto. I skipped the cream to limit the amount of fat but it was still very creamy and delicious. This could be modified to add whatever veggies are on hand - mushroom, asparagus, etc. I will definitely be making this again.

This was fantastic! I made two alterations- substituted chopped frozen spinach for the broccoli (we were out) and used 1/4 cup half and half instead of cream. Also, the finished risotto only "took" 4 cups of broth, so I'd recommend adding just a 1/2 cup at a time towards the end of cooking time. Thanks for the recipe, this was great!

The lemon juice made this risotto taste very different from the mushroom risotto I usually make. It was delicious, and something new and different to make. I added two additional tablespoons of lemon juice, and it took 6 (14-ish oz) cans of chicken broth, which is far more than the listed 5 cups, but it was still worth making. Very yummy!

I made this exactly by the recipe except that I had no cheese and I through in a little leftover shredded chicken. It didn't taste as good as I had expected, (delicious and creamy, but rather bland.) but I suspect the cheese would have made a big difference. Will definitely try it again!

i skipped the lemon and used 1% milk instead of cream and it was DELICIOUS. Love this recipe!

Wonderful flavor and very creamy! I also steamed the broccoli separately and mixed in toward the end. I served this with fish and it was amazing! Thank you!
