Risotto alla Milanese is a traditional Italian dish originating from Milan. It is characterized by its creamy texture and vibrant yellow color, which comes from the addition of saffron. The dish is made by slowly cooking arborio rice in broth, allowing it to absorb flavors while releasing starch, resulting in a rich and velvety consistency. Typically, Risotto alla Milanese is prepared with onions, white wine, and grated Parmesan cheese. It is often served as a first course or as a side dish, complementing various meats. This dish is a staple of Lombard cuisine and showcases the region's culinary heritage.
