Instructions

1

Heat the broth in a saucepan and keep it warm on low heat. Add the saffron threads to the broth to infuse.

2

In a large pan, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

3

Add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains are slightly translucent at the edges.

4

Pour in the white wine and stir until it is fully absorbed by the rice.

5

Begin adding the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each ladle is absorbed before adding the next.

6

Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is al dente and the risotto has a creamy consistency.

7

Remove from heat and stir in the remaining butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8

Let the risotto rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.

Chef's Tips

  • Saffron Quality: Use high-quality saffron for the best flavor and color.
  • Stirring: Constant stirring is key to achieving the perfect creamy texture.
  • Broth Temperature: Keep the broth warm to maintain even cooking.
  • Wine Substitute: If you don't have white wine, you can use a splash of lemon juice mixed with water.
  • Resting Time: Letting the risotto rest before serving helps the flavors meld together.
