Ingredients
- 400 g arborio rice for risotto, 7 oz; or vialone nano or carnaroli rice
- 40-50 g bone marrow 1-1/2 or 2 oz, removed from bone and finely chopped
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 40-50 g butter 3 Tbsp plus a bit more for mantecatura
- white wine a splash
- 1 liter broth 1 quart, or q.b
- saffron a pinch
- 50-60 g Parmesan Cheese grated, 2 oz plus some more to serve at table
Instructions
- Make a soffritto by sautéing the onion and marrow in the butter. When the marrow has melted and the onion is well wilted, add the rice and let it 'toast' in the soffritto without browning. Add a splash of white wine and let it evaporate.
- Proceed with the risotto in the usual way—with one little catch: While the rice is simmering, take your saffron and simmer it very gently with a ladleful of broth so it releases its flavor and color into the broth. Then, either about halfway through the cooking process, or if you prefer a more assertive flavor, about 5 minutes before the rice is done, add the saffron and its broth into the risotto. Continue to cook as usual.
- Risotto alla milanese is usually served all'onda, which is to say, rather more loose than firm, so begin the final enrichment, called the mantecatura in Italian, while the rice is stlll fairly brothy. Add the cheese and, if you like, a dab of butter for extra richness to the rice, then stir to toss the rice around vigorously for about two minutes. If you like your risotto a bit firmer, let it sit, covered, for a minute or two before serving.
