Delicious rice dish with few ingredients

Dhe traditional Italian rice dish uses just a few ingredients and is still a treat. You have to be a bit careful when preparing it. The classic variant is “Milanese style”, cooked with beef bone marrow and seasoned with precious saffron.

An asparagus risotto is also recommended – there are still fresh white asparagus, but the green ones, which are available all year round, also come into their own here.

When preparing it, it is important to use the starch that envelops the rice grain to give the dish a smooth, supple consistency without taking the bite out of the rice and cooking it to a pulp. Therefore, it is not washed, as with Asian varieties, where you prefer to prepare the rice loose and grainy.
