Advice and Variations

You can use different varieties of basil: Genoese, Greek, red-leaf, or others. You can add other herbs like thyme or marjoram.

Choose an organic lemon or one with untreated peel. I recommend using this grater, which is very suitable for citrus zest.

Use good quality rice, suitable for risottos, such as Carnaroli or Vialone Nano.

You can add black, white, or pink pepper at the end of cooking.
