Milanese Risotto
Milanese Risotto is a traditional Italian dish originating from Milan, known for its creamy texture and rich flavor. The dish is primarily made with Arborio rice, which is a short-grain rice that absorbs liquid well, creating a creamy consistency. It is typically flavored with saffron, giving it a distinctive golden color and a unique taste.
To prepare Milanese Risotto, the rice is sautéed in butter and onions before gradually adding hot broth, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid slowly. This method of cooking ensures that the rice remains al dente while achieving a creamy finish. It is often served as a first course or a side dish.
