Risotto Milanese
There's no need to throw the contents of the fridge at this very simple risotto - let the saffron flavour shine

Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 25 minutes
- Bring the stock to a bare simmer.
- Melt half the butter in a pan then cook the onion gently until softened but not coloured (about 5 minutes). Add the rice and stir, then add the wine. Let it evaporate completely then add the saffron. Pour in the stock, a ladleful or 2 at a time, stirring and scraping the rice from the bottom of the pan as you do so. When each addition of stock has almost evaporated, add the next ladleful.
- This should take about 15-17 minutes. The risotto is ready when the grains are soft, but still al dente. Beat in the remaining butter and some seasoning, then beat in the parmesan. Scatter with parmesan shavings.
