Milanese risotto

Milanese risotto is the quintessential Milanese dish, known and appreciated all over the world (if done right…).

I often cook rice in a thousand and thousand variations, but at least once a month I treat myself to a good Milanese risotto.

Besides the saffron that gives a wonderful golden color the peculiarity of this recipe is undoubtedly the marrow that gives that extra boost to the dish making it truly superb.

I prefer not to use onion or shallots for sautéing before roasting the rice so that the recipe is lighter.
