Risotto Alla Milanese
- 2 cups risotto rice Arborio Rice
- 1 onion Medium
- 6 3/8 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 4 extra virgin olive oil Table Spoons
- salt to taste
- 1 cup dry white wine
- saffron for the yellow color
- 4 1/4 cups chicken stock Warm, 1 liter of water + 2 stock cubes
- 2 1/8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Heat up 4 table spoons of olive oil in a medium - large sauce pan. Add finely chopped onion and sweat for about 5 minutes or until the onion gets almost transparent color.
- Add the rice and toast for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add wine and keep stirring until it has evaporated. Season with salt. Now add the stock (about a glass at a time), stir frequently so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom. Once the stock has been absorbed into the rice, add more stock (stir continuously) and repeat for a further 20 - 25 minutes (until the rice is cooked - but not overcooked).
- Halfway through the process add saffron to the rice and stir to get nice yellow color (Start with a small amount of saffron, if you prefer a darker shade of yellow, add some more).
- 2 minutes before serving add butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- Serve hot with some more Parmesan cheese and a glass of white wine.
