Saffron Risotto 👨‍🍳🍚 Ingredients: - 4 cups chicken stock - 2 tablespoons butter - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 medium onion, finely chopped - 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice - 1/2 cup dry white wine - 1 pinch saffron threads - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 egg yolks - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste - Salt, to taste - Handful of rocket salad, for plating Instructions: 1. Prepare the Chicken Stock: - In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken stock over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low to keep the stock warm. 2. Sauté the Onion: - In a large pan or skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. - Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. 3. Cook the Rice: - Add the Arborio rice to the pan with the onion and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat the rice grains with the oil and butter. - Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring, until the wine has been completely absorbed by the rice. 4. Add the Saffron: - Add the saffron threads to the warm chicken stock to infuse. 5. Begin Adding the Stock: - Add a ladleful of the warm chicken stock to the rice and stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. - Continue adding the stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. This process will take about 18-20 minutes. The rice should be creamy and al dente. 6. Finish the Risotto: - Once the rice is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat. - Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, the grated Parmesan cheese, and the egg yolks until well combined and creamy. - Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. 7. Plate and Serve: - Spoon the saffron risotto onto serving plates. - Garnish with a handful of fresh rocket salad on top for a touch of color and a peppery flavor contrast. 8. Enjoy: - Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious saffron risotto with Parmesan and rocket salad. #food #Recipe #risotto - @chefsivo
