STOVETOP
8/10
Saffron-infused risotto made by gradually adding broth to Arborio rice while stirring to release starch.
Why It Works
Constant stirring abrades the surface starch from short-grain rice, creating a creamy suspension without cream. Saffron's fat-soluble pigments bloom in the butter.
Key Ingredients
Arborio rice
saffron
onion
white wine
chicken broth
butter
Parmigiano-Reggiano
