I don't like clogging up your timeline with too many recipes in a row so bear with me and forgive me but Risotto all Milanese goes with Ossobuco. Or Ossobuco can't be fully enjoyed with Risotto all milanese.

Right?

Risotto alla Milanese or Risotto Giallo - classic

πŸ‘‡
1/

INGREDIENTS

2 shallots or 1 small onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
9 - 10 ounces (300 grams) Italian rice for risotto, such as Arborio or Carnaroli
1 wine glass of dry white wine; about 1 cup (240 ml)

MORE

πŸ‘‡
2/

5 cups (1-Β½ liters) chicken, light meat, or vegetable stock
Β½ teaspoon saffron powder
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, fresh if possible

Bring the stock to a simmer, then turn off. You want the stock to be hot or very warm when

πŸ‘‡
3/

making risotto. The wine should be at room temperature.

Heat 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter & 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or pot. Add the chopped shallots or onion & sautΓ© until translucent & soft.

Add the rice & stir, making sure all of the rice is

πŸ‘‡
4/

coated with fat.

Stirring constantly, cook the rice for a couple of minutes until it becomes partly translucent.

Pour in the wine &, stirring, cook until the wine has been absorbed, which should only take a minute or two.

πŸ‘‡
5/

Pour 2 ladles of stock into the rice & cook, stirring slowly, until most of the stock has been absorbed. Continue adding the stock, 2 ladlefuls at a time, stirring almost constantly, & allowing each addition to be absorbed into the rice before pouring on more stock.

πŸ‘‡
6/

The whole process should take 20 to 30 minutes until the rice is cooked tender & meltingly soft, not al dente! Don't cook it until mushy, the rice grains should be whole but tender.

About halfway through the cooking process, 10 to 15 minutes after having added the

πŸ‘‡
7/

wine, stir in the saffron powder & a generous grinding of black pepper. Continue adding the stock until the rice is completely cooked : the rice, as I said, should be meltingly tender & soft, the risotto creamy almost like a rice pudding, not dry like a rice dish.

πŸ‘‡
8/

Remove the risotto from the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter & 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese & stir vigorously until well blended. (I added the saffron at the end this time).

Cover the pot & allow to rest for 2 minutes.

πŸ‘‡
9/

Taste, adding more salt or pepper if you think it is needed (this will depend on how seasoned your stock is) before serving.

Serve with more Parmesan on the side and the Ossobuco.

Buon appetito!

Ossobuco alla Milanese

I have old photos & new to show you different steps & the way the dish may come out different times.

Note: ossobuco is a specific cut of veal (see photo); the flour the meat is dredged in will help thicken the sauce more or less, depending on how much you leave

clinging to the meat; the type & quality of the chopped tomatoes will given you a redder or a lighter sauce (see the photos)

While these muffins are proper breakfast muffins, they’re perfect for a Thanksgiving meal: not too sweet...

Why ketchup on scrambled eggs is a special treat for me. When I was a kid, my mom used to make herself - and only for herself, like a mom treat - what we called "fried egg sandwich" - a round egg omelet she made in a tiny, individual omelet pan that made a single omelet just...
exactly the size of a slice of sandwich bread. She slid the hot, cooked egg onto a slice of white bread, slathered it with ketchup, and topped it with another slice of white bread. The hot egg & the wet ketchup would soften the bread. The hot egg & the cold ketchup created...
a wonderful hot-cold effect in the mouth.

And I watched as my mom enjoyed her special treat (she did the same for sweet iced coffee and cold canned-creamed-corn)and I grew up craving these, waiting until I was an adult and could have a fried egg sandwich, too.

That's why I...
