From midgelet 14 years agoIngredients
- 5 to 6 cups chicken or beef broth, or part water and part broth shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or rendered chicken fat shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups arborio rice shopping list

How to make it
- Pour the broth (or water and broth) into a saucepan and bring to a simmer; adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Warm the olive oil or chicken fat in a large deep sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and parsley and sauté for a few minutes until softened.
- Add the rice and stir until opaque, about three minutes.
- Add a ladleful (about one cup) of the simmering broth and stir for three to four minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
- Reduce the heat and continue to add broth a ladleful at a time, waiting until each addition is absorbed before adding the next, until the rice kernels are al dente in the center and creamy on the outside, 18 to 20 minutes in all.
- Add the saffron and its broth about halfway through, and add the grapes or raisins during the last addition of broth, if using.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a warmed serving dish.
- Serve immediately.
