Broccoli Rabe Risotto with Grilled Lemon

• 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced crosswise
• Olive oil, for brushing
• 1/2 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into large pieces
• 2 cups vegetable stock or low-sodium broth
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups arborio rice (about 3/4 pound)
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• Freshly ground pepper
• Mascarpone, for serving

1. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
2. Brush the lemon slices with oil and grill over high heat, turning once, until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes total.
3. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool.
4. Finely dice the lemon.
5. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the broccoli rabe until tender, about 3 minutes.
6. Drain and cool under running water; drain again.
7. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a food processor and puree until smooth.
8. Scrape the puree into a measuring cup (you should have about 1 cup).
9. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock and 2 cups of water just to a boil; keep warm.
10. In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter.
11. Add the onion, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
12. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until coated and opaque, about 3 minutes.
13. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed, about 7 minutes.
14. Add half of the warm vegetable stock and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until nearly absorbed, about 7 minutes.
15. Add the remaining vegetable stock and cook, stirring, until nearly absorbed and the rice is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes longer.
16. Stir the broccoli rabe puree into the risotto along with the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, tarragon, parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
17. Cook, stirring, until the risotto is creamy and heated through, about 3 minutes.
18. Season the risotto with salt and pepper.
19. Spoon into shallow bowls and top with the chopped grilled lemon and dollops of mascarpone.
