Ingredients
- 5 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 10 ounces (about 11/2 cups) uncooked Arborio rice
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 pound broccoli florets, approximately 1 large broccoli head
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Step by Step:
- Bring broth to a simmer in a large saucepan and keep warm.
- Heat oil in a large heavy-bottom casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add onion, stirring frequently until tender, about 5 minutes. Add rice, lemon zest, and rosemary and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine and cook until the liquid is nearly absorbed.
- Continue stirring. Add 1/2 cup hot broth and cook until broth is absorbed. Repeat with remaining broth, adding broccoli after the third addition of broth. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and juice. Serve immediately.
