Barefoot Bloggers: Spring Green Risotto
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!

Your risotto looks lovely. I didn’t read the comments so fixed it as written, but with less salt. It was great.

Looks good, even with the ingredient changes. I love how risotto is so versatile!
