Directions: Lamb And Mint Risotto Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced lamb and cook until browned on all sides.
  • STEP 2.Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened.

  • STEP 6.Stir in the cooked lamb, chopped mint leaves, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • STEP 8.Serve the lamb and mint risotto hot, garnished with extra mint leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Cooking Tips

  • Use a good quality Arborio rice for the best results. It has a high starch content, which gives risotto its creamy texture.
  • Make sure to stir the risotto constantly while adding the broth. This helps release the starch from the rice and creates a creamy consistency.
  • If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, you can add a few drops of mint extract or a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh mint to the risotto.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover lamb and mint risotto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, add a splash of broth or water to the risotto and heat it in a pan over medium heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the lamb and mint risotto as a main dish with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
