Risotto milanese Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons in a pot and braise the onion cubes lightly. Add the risotto and stir until translucent. Now add the white wine and constantly stir until the fluid is vaporized. ITALy Use about 3 scoops of the broth (chicken or vegetable) and allow to reduce while stirring. Add the rest of the broth little by little and let the rice soak on a low heat. The rice is done when showing a soupy texture but still being firm to the bite. This takes about 20-25 minutes. Dissolve the saffron threads in warm water and add them to the risotto, stir in the rest of the butter, the freshly grated parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. 400 G 1 1L 4 Tbsp 100 ml 2G 75 G risotto (Italian rice) onion chicken/vegetable broth butter white wine saffron threads parmesan Salt pepper
