Method

  1. Bring the stock to a bare simmer.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
