Risotto with caramelised shallots and lemony courgette.

As if it were magic, those raw and spicy shallots become very tender and sweet after a while in the oven. They go oh so well with the risotto and give it a sophisticated touch - full of flavor. This Mediterranean dish is topped with zucchini slices with a touch of lemon. Meal rich in potassium and dietary fiber. #Vegetarian

Before starting:

Heat the oven to 200ºC and heat the broth: 500ml of water per stock cube.

The shallots:

Cut the shallots into quarters (lengthwise).
Put them in aluminum foil and form a “bowl”.
Add balsamic vinegar, a dash of oil and salt.
Bake in the middle of the oven for15-20min. 

Mise en place:

Chop the garlic and cut the lemon in half.
With a peeler, make “sheets” of courgette until you reach the seedy center.
Chop the center of the courgette into thin pieces.  

Let's start the risotto:

Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan. Sauté the garlic and chopped courgette core, 1-2 min.
Add the rice and sauté 1-2 more minutes.
At medium heat, add broth, 1 dl at a time, and stir until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Repeat until you have the rice ‘al dente’; 25-30min.

The courgette sheets:

Meanwhile, in another frying àm, sauté the laminated courgette until it has softened and released a little liquid.
Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from the heat and squeeze the lemon over it. 

The finishing touch:

When the risotto is done, turn the heat off.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add parmesan and caramelised shallots.
Serve with the laminated courgette.
