Steps

4
Done

In a large saucepan pour 50g of butter taken from the total necessary dose, melt it over low heat, then pour the chopped onion and let it stew for 10-15 minutes adding some broth so as not to dry the sauté: the onion must be very transparent and soft.

5
Done

Once the onion is stewed, pour the rice and toast it for 3-4 minutes, so the beans will seal and keep the cooking well. Add the white wine and let it evaporate completely. At this point proceed with the cooking for about 18-20 minutes, adding the broth a ladle at a time, when needed, as it will be absorbed by the rice: the beans must always be covered.

6
Done

Five minutes before the end of cooking, pour the water with the saffron pistils that you had put in infusion, stir to flavor and dye the risotto of a beautiful gold color.

7
Done

After cooking, turn off the heat, salt, stir in the grated parmesan cheese and the remaining 75 g of butter. Stir and cover with the lid let rest a couple of minutes, at this point the saffron risotto is ready! Serve it hot while garnishing the dish with some pistil.
