SAFFRON RISOTTO WITH MARROW
_Risotta allo Zafferano con Midollo alla Piastra_ Combining a lovely golden hue with wonderfully beefy depth, this classic risotto alla milanese is hearty enough to stand on its own, but if you really want to be Italian about it, pair it with ossobuco.

Steps:
- Rinse marrowbones, then cover with cold water in a large bowl and soak, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 24. Scrape off any bone fragments from exposed marrow with a knife. Push marrow out of 1 bone by pressing on smaller opening (marrow will be forced out opposite end). Discard bone and repeat with remaining bones. Pat marrow dry, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, removing and discarding any connective tissue or bone fragments. Transfer to a plate and chill, covered.
- Bring demi-glace concentrate and 6 cups fresh water to a simmer in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, whisking, until concentrate is dissolved (to make stock), then bring to a simmer. Transfer 1 cup stock to a measuring cup and stir in saffron. Keep remaining stock at a bare simmer, covered.
- Cook shallot in 3 tablespoons butter in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and simmer, stirring, until liquid is absorbed.
- Add 1/2 cup hot stock (without saffron), salt, and pepper and simmer briskly, stirring frequently with a long-handled wooden spoon, until stock is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding hot stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, 10 minutes. Add half of saffron broth and simmer, stirring, until absorbed. Add remaining saffron broth and simmer, stirring, until absorbed. Continue simmering and adding stock mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until rice is very creamy-looking but still al dente, 18 to 25 minutes total (there will be stock left over). Remove from heat and stir in cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
- Heat dry cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking, then add marrow all at once and quickly arrange, cut sides down, in 1 layer using tongs. Sear marrow, turning over once carefully (fat will splatter), until golden and translucent, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer marrow with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- If risotto seems dry, thin to a creamy consistency with some of remaining hot stock. Divide risotto among 6 bowls and top with marrow. Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve immediately, with additional cheese.

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.

SAFFRON RISOTTO
My mom made this risotto for us fairly frequently as we loved it so much. I got this recipe from "Italian Cooking" by Capalbo et al. I was forced to find an actual recipe since my mom doesn't have her recipes on paper (you know how it is :)) and this one comes very close. Yes, it's a bit time consuming and requires a lot of stirring, but you will be well-rewarded in the end for your effort! :D In Italy, this risotto is classically served with osso bucco, but it's wonderful even on its own!

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Arborio rice is the traditional choice for risotto, as it has a high starch content that helps create a creamy texture. However, you can also use other short-grain rices, such as Carnaroli or Vialone Nano.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice in olive oil or butter before adding the liquid helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the foundation of the risotto, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken, vegetable, or seafood broth, depending on the flavor you want.
- Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Instead, add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
- Stir constantly: Risotto requires constant stirring. This helps to prevent the rice from sticking together and also helps to create a creamy texture.
- Finish with butter and cheese: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some butter and grated Parmesan cheese. This will add richness and flavor to the dish.
- Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
Conclusion:
Saffron risotto with marrow is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and beautiful color, it's sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
