Sa Coma Saffron Risotto

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Once heated, reduce the heat to low to keep it warm.
  2. In a separate large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent.
  3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice with the butter, onion, and garlic mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice becomes slightly translucent.
  4. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is absorbed by the rice.
  5. Dissolve the saffron threads in a small amount of the warm vegetable broth, then add it to the rice mixture.
  6. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove the risotto from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
