Risotto alla Milanese

Seasoned with saffron, risotto alla Milanese is the classic accompaniment to Osso Buco (see related recipe at left). A small amount of this aromatic spice will add inimitable flavor and a hint of yellow color to the dish. Saffron threads are preferable to powder, which loses its flavor more quickly and can be adulterated with other ingredients.

Served this last night w/ the Osso Bucco and everyone loved it. It's not that interesting in my opinion as it is just Risotto but it's a nice simple risotto to accompany an interesting main course. The Saffron is a nice easy touch that makes it seem fancier than it is.

Great Beginner Risotto
January 20, 2011
I had never cooked or eaten risotto before. I read the recipe carefully and watched the video on cooking risotto. I followed the instructions and it came out beautifully and tasted superb!
It does take a bit of time and attention so I paired it with other items that cooked slowly on the stovetop. I loved how towards the end of cooking, the risotto really did "puff up" and take on a creamy consistency. With this visual cue, I don't have to worry about undercooking it!

Great for a first time risotto dish
August 5, 2010
I really enjoyed how easy this recipe was to prepare. My boyfriend is from Milan and he was very impressed by it's authenticity.
A few tips would be cut the amount of Parmesan cheese by half and to not add butter at all to be truly authentic Italian cuisine. If you really want a rich and creamy dish than add half the butter and all the cheese and you still come out with a fabulous meal.
Happy cooking.

Easy with experience

The recipe was good and consistent with many other risotto recipes. I would recommend this to anyone as a great basic risotto to start with.
