This lemon rice dinner recipe takes the classic Italian dish of risotto and adds a refreshing twist with the addition of lemon. The risotto is cooked slowly, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors of the sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Towards the end of cooking, lemon zest and juice are added to brighten up the dish and add a tangy note. The result is a creamy and flavorful risotto with a hint of citrus. Serve it as a main course or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
