How to make it

  • In a saucepan over medium heat bring stock to a simmer and add the saffron then reduce the heat to low and keep stock warm.
  • In a saucepan over medium high heat warm the olive oil.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir until each grain is well coated with oil about 4 minutes.
  • Add the wine and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Begin adding the stock 1 cup at a time stirring frequently after each addition.
  • Wait until the stock is almost completely absorbed before adding more.
  • When rice is tender but firm after 25 minutes stir in the butter and 1 cup cheese.
  • Add more stock if needed so the rice is thick and creamy.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately and pass additional cheese at the table.

    Either will work, but go for Arborio if you can find it.

    I just had a tin of saffron given to me, so I guess it is a sign to make this... It sounds so good. Fathers day, it's on the menu! Can I use medium grain rice or should I get, if I can find it, Arborio?
