Ingredients
- 1 oz butter
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 1 cup Carnaroli rice (or Arborio)
- ¼ cup white wine
- 3 cups beef stock (from marrow bones- vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
- ½ oz butter
- 1 pinch of saffron threads (or ground saffron)
- ⅛ tsp salt (Kosher or sea salt, as needed)
- ½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Over medium high heat, in a large pot melt the butter and add the diced onion. Sauté for a few minutes, until they are transparent, but before it starts to brown. Add the rice and stir for about 3 to 4 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the wine and stir well until it evaporates.
- Meanwhile, place the saffron into the heated stock. It will turn the stock a bright yellow color.
- Begin adding a cup of the heated stock to the rice while stirring, allowing to simmer and cook down. Once absorbed, add another cup and continue until all the stock has been used; it should be al dente within 18 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the grated Parmigiano cheese and butter. Taste for salt, and add it as needed and serve hot.
