Risotto alla Milanese (Saffron Risotto)

Milan's golden classic: Carnaroli rice toasted with softened onion, deglazed with dry white wine and cooked slowly with ladles of hot broth infused with saffron, then finished off the heat with cold butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano until creamy and loose. Elegant on its own, and the traditional partner for osso buco.
