Risotto alla Milanese

Italian

This is the classic Risotto of Milan, often served with a side of Italian Meatballs. Leftovers can be reincarnated as a yummy Risotto al Salto
Ingredients
6 cups (approximately) chicken or vegetable stock
Large pinch of saffron threads
6 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, minced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
 
Steps
1 In a medium saucepan, over low heat, warm the stock with the saffron.

2 In a large skillet (preferably non-stick) over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onion and saute 3-5 minutes, until tender.

3 Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes.

4 Add salt, pepper, and wine. Stir until liquid is absorbed.

5 Add 1/2 cup of stock, stirring until liquid is absorbed. Add another 1/2 cup of stock, and repeat. Continue to add more stock and stir as it absorbs until the rice is cooked.

6 Rice should be cooked al dente after 30 minutes or so. When texture is firm, but tender, add the remaining butter and the parmesan. Salt and pepper to taste.
