RISOTTO ALLA PAVESE

Steps:

• Pour vegetable broth into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add fresh cranberry beans and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are soft but not mushy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove beans with a slotted spoon, leaving the vegetable broth over the heat source on medium-low.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, whole rosemary sprig, bay leaf, and sage. Sauté until onion is soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add rice and stir to toast the rice, 2 to 3 minutes. Once rice is toasted, add drained beans and stir until well coated.
• Add white wine and stir until wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente. Add tomato sauce and stir until creamy and thick. This whole process will take about 18 minutes.
• Remove risotto from the heat source and let stand for 2 minutes. Remove rosemary twig, bay leaf, and sage and serve.

Steps:

• Remove 1/2 cup of the heated chicken stock to a small bowl; stir in saffron, and set aside. Keep the remaining stock warm in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Combine 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the rice, and stir to coat with the butter mixture. Stir in the wine and cook, stirring continuously, until the wine evaporates, about 1 minute. Stir in the saffron broth and cook, allowing the rice to absorb it, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition and allowing the rice to absorb after each addition before adding more. Cook until the rice is tender (but not mushy), about 20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan, remaining tablespoon butter, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• Put 30 g of the butter in a large pan and melt it (keep the remaining butter for later).
• Add the finely chopped onion.
• Sweat over a medium heat for about 2 minutes.
• Add the bone marrow and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, breaking it with the spoon while stirring.
• Once the onion is soft, add the rice and and stir until the rice is completely coated with the fat.
• You can see that the rice will start to become translucent, keep stirring and sweat the rice for a minute or two.
• Then, add the white wine, keep stirring and let the wine evaporate (it will probably take a couple of minutes).
• Now, add the stock and turn the heat to medium/low, the stock, which is kept simmering in order to stay hot, should be added at the rate of a couple of ladlefuls at a time and when this is absorbed, add more stock.
• Carry on in this way for about 15 minutes, during this stage, do not leave the pan alone and stir regularly (gently).
• After 15 minutes, you will probably need an extra 3 to 5 minutes to complete the final stage of cooking (this time depends on the type of rice you are using). From now on, taste the rice every minute until the rice is cooked "al dente" (this means that the rice is tender outside, but still slightly firm to the bite in the centre). At the same time, the tasting will tell you if you need to adjust seasoning with salt. Regular but gentle stirring is required for the last minutes in order to avoid the risotto sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• In these last minutes, if the stock is completely absorbed, you can gradually add a bit more (say a half ladle at a time) because at this final stage you do not want the risotto becoming too watery.
• Now, at about the 15th minute, put the saffron powder into a glass.
• Add half a ladle of stock and dissolve the saffron stirring with a small spoon and then add the saffron into the pan.
• Stir until all the rice is uniformly coloured (golden yellow). Continue cooking and adding stock as required.
• When the rice is perfectly cooked "al dente", add the Parmesan cheese and stir for few seconds until the Parmesan has melted.
• Then, put the cooker off, add all the remaining butter (cut into pieces) and stir until completely melted.
• Cover the pan with a lid for about 1 minute and allow the risotto to rest before serving it.
• Risotto should be served "all'onda" (like a wave). This means that when you serve it onto the plate, it should still flow a little.
• Buon appetito!

RISOTTO MILANESE-STYLE (RISOTTA ALLA MILANESE)

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan, warm the chicken stock. Keep warm.
• 2. In a large saucepan over moderately low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, just until tender but before any color appears, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and saffron, and toast lightly for 1 minute without letting the rice or onion take on any color. Add the wine and cook until almost completely absorbed.
• 3. Add most of the chicken stock (it should come about 1/2 inch above the rice) and bring to a simmer. Cook the risotto, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 14 minutes. As the rice begins to absorb the liquid, add more as needed.
• 4. Once rice has absorbed almost all the broth, remove from the heat, add the butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano, and stir vigorously for about 1 minute to develop the surface starches. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 5. Serve the risotto immediately garnished with a piece of the meat marrow, if desired.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• Meat broth may be substituted with 1 cup canned chicken broth mixed with 3 cups of water.
• Pancetta with beef marrow or proscuitto.
• Shallot with onion.
• Saffron should be dissolved in 1 1/2 cups hot broth or water.
• Bring the broth to a slow, steady simmer.
• Must be either homemade or[very] low sodium.
• In a heavy-bottomed casserole, over medium-high heat, saute the pancetta and shallots in 3 tablespoons of the butter and all of the oil.
• As soon as the shallots become translucent, add the rice and stir until it is well coated.
• Saute lightly for a few moments and then add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth, about a ladleful.
• Proceed according to the basic risotto technique.
• After 15 minutes, add half of the dissolved saffron.
• When the liquid has been absorbed, add the rest (the later the saffron is added, the stronger the taste).
• Cook the rice with more stock (or water if you run out) until tender but al dente, taste for salt (but remember that you're going to add the cheese).
• Add pepper, 2 tablespoons of butter, and the cheese and mix thoroughly.
• Serve with additional grated cheese on the side.
• NOTES: Serve with Osso Bucco alla Milanese.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Add shallots and saute over medium heat until soft but not brown. Stir in rice and cook for several minutes, until the rice is well coated with butter.
• Place the stock in another saucepan and keep it simmering.
• Dissolve the saffron in a little of the stock in a small dish and stir into the rice.
• Then, stirring the rice constantly, add the simmering stock, about one-half cup at a time, adding additional stock every few minutes as the rice absorbs it. After about 25 minutes, the rice should have absorbed most of the stock and be "al dente" and cohere in a creamy mass. Do not overcook the rice. Season to taste.
• Serve at once with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
