Risotto Milanese

I have been in love with risotto Milanese since I had it with my husband in Milan many years ago. I have been working on the recipe for some time, and I have to admit that while reading through the Italian cookbooks, I discovered the magic of using beef stock (mine is bone marrow).

 

Ingredients:

Keep in mind that my quantities are always for 4/5 people, so adapt your quantities accordingly.

  • 1 L beef stock
  • 1 small onion finely diced 
  • 120 gr butter
  • 60 ml dry white wine
  • 400 gr Arborio rice
  • powder saffron
  • 80/100 gr grated Parmigiano cheese

Instructions:

Use half of the butter to saute the onions and add the rice slowly.  Saute the rice and add the wine and let the alcohol evaporate.

Continue by slowly adding a ladle of the beef stock until the rice is al dente.

In the end, add the remaining butter and grated Parmigiano cheese.

Serve immediately.

 

The risotto doesn’t wait for you; you wait for the risotto!
