I love to make risotto. I actually enjoy the constant stirring needed to do it right. And, I certainly love the creamy texture of the finished product. I make all kinds but I recently was reminded of a tasty saffron risotto that I had in London last August so I decided to give it a try. I had some saffron in the cupboard but I didn't have any shallots. I did have a nice, fat leek so I used that instead. I tossed in a a tablespoon of lemon juice and the zest from that same lemon. It was every bit as good as the risotto I had in London and maybe even a little bit better.

That looks delicious, Sharon. I haven't made it in years but should try again.
Risotto...such a comfort food. I love the stirring part of making risotto. It's relaxing, almost hypnotic at times. Yours looks and sounds delicious!
Bravo! I agree, the parsley gives it a visual boost.
yum! I've made this before and my favourite additions are onions, garlic and spinach with a touch of parmesan at the end.
