Preparation

Step 1

Saute the onion in olive oil until soft. Add the rice and mix well until it is coated with oil. Add the wine and stir constantly over a medium heat until it evaporates. Add enough broth to cover the rice and continue to stir until the liquid is absorbed. Keep adding more broth a little at a time and constantly stirring until the rice is done. In a small bowl, dissolve the saffron in a little hot broth and add it to the rice. Stir in the parmesan cheese and season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.
