Risotto, Classic and 3 Variations

Sauté the onion in 2 tbsp. butter. Add the long grain rice and fry until it looks translucent. Extinguish with white wine and cook it completely. Then gradually add soup, always enough to just cover the long-grain rice and stir constantly.

After about 15 minutes, add the saffron and continue cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes. The rice grains should be cooked but still have bite.

Then fold in the remaining butter and the Parmesan. Season with salt and black pepper and bring to the table on the spot.
