First dish: Rice with Saffron

The saffron rice is a typical dish of the north of Italy. This rice can be enriched with mushrooms, sausages or speck.

“Risotto Giallo” in Italy is a synonym for richness and cheerfulness, because saffron was a very expensive ingredient in the past.

Recipe for 4 people

Average time: 25 minutes cooking.

Ingredients:

280 g of rice;
40 g of butter;
½ onion;
½ glass of white wine;
1 saffron bag (0.15g);
40 g Parmesan;
1 L Broth.

How to prepare it:

                     

                                Peel and finely chop the onion and brown it with 30 gr of butter in a pot until they golden.

Merge the rice and make it toast in the condiment.

When the rice has golden, add white wine and hot broth. Stir the rice constantly and at the same time add the hot broth to avoid drying the rice.

At half-cooking, add the saffron bag (previously dissolved in a cup of hot broth) to the rice.

After cooking (about 20 minutes) remove the pot from the fire, add a butter nut and parmesan and keep it stirring.

Wait a couple of minutes before serving saffron rice in the dishes, so that the rice rests and the flavors get stronger.
