2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion
50 grams of beef ossobuco
2 cups of rice (400g)
1/2 cup of dry red wine (optional)
1 envelope of saffron
5 cups of chicken broth
Parmesan cheese, grated to taste
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion
50 grams of beef ossobuco
2 cups of rice (400g)
1/2 cup of dry red wine (optional)
1 envelope of saffron
5 cups of chicken broth
Parmesan cheese, grated to taste
Salt to taste
In a large skillet with the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter, cook the onion and beef ossobuco until lightly browned
Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon until it's coated with the oil and butter
It should look shiny and absorb all the flavors
Add the wine and let it simmer for a few minutes
Dissolve the saffron in a cup of chicken broth
Add the mixture to the skillet and cook the risotto, adding the remaining broth slowly, as the liquid is absorbed
Stir constantly
Season with salt
Cook for 25 minutes over medium heat, until the rice is tender but still slightly firm
Add the remaining butter and stir
Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese
