Ingredients:

1 large

Shallot (diced)

1 cup

Arborio Rice

3 tsp

Kosher Salt

Directions:

1

In a medium saucepan bring the broth and 1/2 cup water to a simmer

2

Cover the broth and keep hot over low heat

3

In a medium, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat

4

Add the shallot and saute until tender but not brown, about 3 minutes

5

Add the rice and stir to coat with the butter

6

Add the wine and simmer until the wine has almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes

7

Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes

8

Continue cooking the rice, adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of the broth to absorb before adding the next, until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite and the mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes

Remove from the heat

10

Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, mascarpone cheese, the lemon zest and juice, and the salt and pepper

To serve, cut 1/4-inch off the bottom of each lemon so they stand on their own

Take 1-inch off the stem end

Using a grapefruit spoon scoop out the flesh of the lemon and discard

Fill each lemon with about 1/2 cup of risotto
