Receta Lemon Risotto {microwave version!}
Mama Bird's Cupcake & Cake Info
One of my ALL TIME Favorite Comfort Foods is risotto. I love it there is something about the process of making it and the rich yummy goodness that comes with it. I adore Nigella and had to become a part of I HEART COOKING CLUBS because they are featuring my girl! I became rather obsessed with Risotto after making Nigella's Lemon Risotto in my fav cookbook Nigella Bites! As much as I love her rather long version of this recipe I have come up with a MICROWAVE version that is fantastic! I use all the great flavors that Nigella uses just in a quick cook version. I do omit the raw egg yolk as I have a tot and well, I just leave it out now. Sorry.
