Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1.2 litres/2 pints chicken stock
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , very finely chopped
350g arborio risotto rice
125ml Fino sherry or dry white wine
½ tsp saffron
50g parmesan , or vegetarian alternative, grated
1 egg yolk
rocket salad, to serve (optional)

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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

28 ounces chicken stock
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 cup arborio rice
1 cup white wine
Large pinch of saffron
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus shavings for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a low simmer in a medium pot. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. Cook onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice and a pinch of salt. Sauté until rice is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine and saffron; bring to a simmer, stirring, until rice has absorbed most of wine. Add 2 ladles of stock to rice; simmer, stirring, until rice has absorbed most of stock. Continue adding stock, allowing rice to absorb it before adding the next ladleful. Cook until rice is al dente and mixture is a little loose. Stir in butter. Turn off heat. Stir in grated cheese. Cover and let sit 2 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls. Garnish each with cheese shavings, if desired.
