Risotto alla Milanese is a beautiful risotto with saffron and parmesan. It's a classic.
Remember, the key to any good risotto is lots of stirring. They're not hard to make, it just takes time and care. In the winter it's actually not bad to be hovering over a stove stirring a pot with the steam in your face. My clothes still smell of saffron - I think it's wonderful. It's like smelling of gold.
And by the way, that big block in the photo -- that's the end of a block of parmesan. Never throw that away! It's the best part, add it to a sauce that needs to be cooked for a while or add it to a risotto at the very beginning along with the rice - it adds so much flavor.
Serves 3
Ingredients
280g arborio rice
1L or more vegetable/chicken/beef stock
1 small white onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp saffron threads
1/2 cup white wine
50g grated parmesan
1 knob of butter
Method
In
a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat until
melted. Add sage and cook until fragrant. Remove and discard sage.
Remove sage butter from heat and set aside.
Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until rice becomes translucent. This process is known as tostatura, or toasting.
Add wine, stirring, until it is mostly absorbed, then add 1 cupful broth and saffron. Simmer, stirring frequently, until broth is almost absorbed. Continue adding broth in ½ cupfuls, stirring often and allowing each addition to mostly evaporate before adding next, until rice is tender but still slightly firm to the bite and mixture is creamy (you will have broth left over).
Stir in remaining 3½ tablespoons butter, reserved sage butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and salt to taste. Add an additional cup of broth, stir to combine, and serve “all’onda” (a “wavy” or wet-style risotto) immediately.
