RISOTTO MILANAISE
(Risotto alla Milanese)
Melt a small piece of butter in a saucepan. Brown in the butter a medium sized
onion, cut in thin slices. When the onion is browned, take it away from the
saucepan and add little by little the rice, stirring it with a wooden spoon.
Every time that the rice becomes dry, add some hot broth (or hot water) until
the rice is completely cooked. Add salt and pepper and a little saffron, if you

When the rice is almost cooked, add to it some brown stock. Dress with parmesan
cheese and some butter. Mix well and serve hot. This dish must not be allowed to
be overcooked or cooled before eating.
