6 cups canned low-salt chicken broth (I needed more)

3 1/2 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

2 large shallots, chopped

2 cups arborio rice

1/4 cup dry white wine

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

grated lemon zest AND juice from one lemon

In a large saucepan, bring broth to simmer over medium heat. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Add rice; stir for about a minute. Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add 1 1/2 cups hot broth; simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until rice is creamy and tender, about 40 minutes. Stir in cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season risotto with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.
