Saffron Risotto (Risotto alla Milanese)

Lombardy's most famous export relies on the quality of its golden seasoning to create a rich, buttery finish. This dish is all about patience; the rice should be tender but retain a firm bite, coated in a glossy, vibrant sauce. It is a refined staple of Milanese home cooking that works perfectly as a standalone course or a side to slow-cooked meats.
