Very good and unique recipe! It hits a good balance between creamy and tart. I can't eat grapefruit, so I made it with blood oranges and an additional lime to counter their sweetness.

Hey Yvonne I'm with you! I find the process of stirring my risotto relaxing! When I teach a class, I tell my students to find a friend, give them a glass of wine and a spoon!!

I would rather stir my risotto than go through the trouble of dealing with the grapefruit and lime. Interesting flavor profile but not doing that!

I'm thinking that some of the "creaminess" that comes from the traditional method of adding warm/hot stock and slowly letting the rice grains release their starch is replaced by the addition of mascarpone here. I'm sure it's good but I'm sticking to the original tried and true method :-)

Did I miss something? The stock is still being added slowly and "stirred as necessary". For years and years we used an oven risotto at the take out shop that was not cooked on the stove and the liquid was all added at once and then baked in the oven. Many ingredients could be added to the base risotto to vary it infinitely. The Lemon Asparagus Risotto was always served with the Salmon Wellington when we catered.

I guess not having to heat the stock saves a little time, but I thought the same thing you did.
The fastest, easiest way I've found to make risotto is to do it in my Instant Pot.

If cannot have grapefruit, is there a substitute?

That's a good point; I wonder if tangerines or blood oranges would work.

I can't eat grapefruit either so if anyone experiments with an alternative please share!

Wondering the same thing, since it's incompatible with my meds! Trying to figure out an alternative that's not too sweet...
