This zucchini risotto recipe is a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer in a classic Italian dish. The creamy and tender Arborio rice pairs perfectly with the grated zucchini, creating a dish that is both hearty and flavorful, and can be served as a main or side dish. Enjoy!
In a medium pot, heat vegetable broth over medium-high heat, until it reaches a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low to keep it warm.
Using a large box grater, grate the zucchini.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in the Arborio rice and stir frequently for 2 minutes, until it has become toasted with a nutty aroma. Pour in the white wine; stir to de-glaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of pan.
