Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1 onion
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 glass white wine

- 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.

- Serve and enjoy.
