It hasn’t been a huge taste difference for me when it comes to the saffron risotto recipe so I like to interchange the two. But I totally agree with you, people think risotto is so difficult but most recipes are quite simple once you have the courage to tackle them.

Thanks for dropping by and happy blogging :)

Great, classic recipe. Try a handful of chopped arugula toward the end of the process too. I also prefer shallots to onions, but that’s just me.
I had a dinner party a couple months ago and one of my guests (friend from massage school) kind of coyly snuck into the kitchen and said “would you mind if I watched you cook the risotto?” It seems like it’s a big mystery, and like most dishes is actually fun and easy once you attack it!
Good blog, keep it up!

Happy Holidays.
Larry

I never knew it was called risotto Milanese. The Italian restaurant I used to work at always served saffron risotto but they never even referred to it that way. See, you learn something new everyday. Thanks! And glad you stopped by!

Needless to say, I very much enjoy your take on it here. :-)

So glad I realized it wasn’t that serious to stir NON-STOP!

@Joy: Oh my! Good luck losing your saffron virginity… are you gonna wait for prom night? Lol ;) P.S. – I have another recipe posted using saffron, “Moules Frites” and it’s yummy and super easy. Let me know how your adventure goes!

What a wonderful recipe to break in my saffron virginity :)
