SAFFRON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a pan over a very low heat - have a ladle at the ready. Melt the butter and olive oil in a high-sided, non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and a large pinch of salt, then cook, stirring, for 5 mins until softened and fragrant but not colouring. Tip in the rice and coat in the oil and butter, cooking for a few mins until beginning to toast. Pour in the wine and cook, stirring, until it's absorbed. Add the saffron and begin to add the stock, a ladle at a time, stirring continually. Add more stock as it's absorbed. After 25-30 mins, all the stock should be absorbed and the rice should be creamy and al dente.
• Add the Parmesan and stir until melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the egg yolk. Season and serve with a peppery rocket salad, if you like.

INSTANT POT CARROT-SAFFRON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Set the electric pressure cooker to sauté and melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add the onion and cook, stirring until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the arborio rice and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the broth and saffron, cover, and set the electric pressure cooker for 5 minutes on high pressure. It will take a couple of minutes for it to come to pressure.
• When the 5 minutes is up, immediately release the pressure. Carefully open the lid, stir in the cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper, then serve topped with extra cheese.
