Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 glass white wine
  • 2 cups broth
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • Saffron

Instructions

  • On low heat, add ½ cup of unsalted butter with chopped onion. Fry the onion until soft.
  • Add the rice and gently mix. Pour the wine and mix until it has evaporated.
  • Add broth little by little and constantly stir to avoid a burnt risotto. Repeat these steps frequently to be sure that the risotto has absorbed the broth whilst constantly stirring. It takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add saffron and mix well.
  • Add parmesan at the end when the risotto is fully cooked and mix well to incorporate all aromas.
  • Serve and enjoy.
