Instructions
- In a medium or large saucepan bring the stock to a low simmer on a burner close to where you will be making your risotto.
- To a large skillet add the olive oil and half the butter. Turn the heat to medium. When the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the onions and sauté until tender, but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice, stirring to coat well, sautéing for about a minute or so.
- Add the wine and simmer until almost completely evaporated, stirring constantly. Add a ladle of stock (1/2-1 cup, depending on servings) and stir until almost evaporated, about 2-3 minutes. Add another ladle of stock and all the saffron threads, again stirring until the liquid has evaporated. Continue this process until the rice is cooked, about 15-30 minutes (depending on servings). Taste frequently for doneness during the last five minutes of cooking time.
- Turn off heat and add Kosher salt and pepper to taste, the remaining butter, and the Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange risotto on individual plates or one large platter. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
NOTES: If you run out of stock and the risotto is not done, use hot water in its place. Finished risotto should have a slight chewiness in the very center of the grain (al dente). Best served immediately. Do not add butter or cheese until just before serving. If not serving immediately, slightly undercook the rice, then just before serving finish off with remaining stock, butter and cheese.
