Jose and I had the honor of shooting my old friend’s wedding reception on Saturday, May 19, 2012 at The Omphoy in Palm Beach. Our vendor meal was the best we had ever had yet. It was a huge chicken rotisserie leg and the creamiest and lemon pepper risotto I had ever tasted in my life! Being the big fan of risotto that I am I set out to make this exact risotto dish. This was what I came up with and my husband can agree that it is spot on exactly like what we had at The Omphoy! Enjoy this, my new favorite dish!
Lemon Pepper Risotto
Ingredients
3 tbsp margarine
2 cup arborio rice
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tbsp. fresh cracked pepper
juice from oneblack lemon
Prepare
1. Heat butter in a large heavy skillet until it turns a golden color.
2. Add 1/2 cup of risotto and stir, allowing it to absorb the butter.
3. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and stir constantly to allow the risotto to absorb it evenly.
4. After about five minutes add another half a cup of risotto and another cup if chicken stock.
5. Repeat step four until all of the risotto and chicken stock are used up.
6. Continue stirring. You’ll notice the rice become bigger and fluffier.
7. Add the fresh cracked black pepper and stir until spread evenly.
8. Once the risotto is thick and creamy add heavy cream and lemon and stir evenly, remove from heat, and serve! Enjoy!
