  Notes: -Use a heavy 2qt saucepan. -While short grain rice can probably be substituted, the arborio can absorb a lot more liquid without becoming mushy. -I use a vegetable peeler to peel the lemon. It gives you long strips which are easier to locate and remove at the end and it peels thinly to eliminate the pith.
