Cauliflower Risotto With Saffron

Courses: Side dish
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4 oz 113gUnsalted butter
1 1/4 cups 78g / 2.8ozFinely-chopped onion
2 1/4 cups 360g / 12ozArborio rice
1 teaspoon 5mlSaffron threads
9 cups 2133mlLight chicken broth - (to 12 cups) - boiling
4 cups 584g / 20ozCauliflower in small florets - each the width of
  A thumbnail
3/4 cup 148g / 5.2ozFreshly-grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Recipe Instructions

Melt 2 ounces butter over medium heat in a large, heavy stockpot. Add the chopped onion, and saute until the onion is soft and golden, stirring occasionally -- about 7 minutes. Add the Arborio rice. Stir well to coat the rice with the butter. Sprinkle with the saffron threads. Cook for one minute, stirring.

Turn heat to medium-high. Add 2 cups of the chicken broth (or enough to just cover the rice). Stir continually. When most of the broth has been absorbed, add the cauliflower and stir well. When all boiling broth has been absorbed, add approximately 1/2 cup more boiling broth, stirring until absorbed. Repeat this procedure until the rice is al dente. You will need between 9 to 12 cups of stock all together.

Stir the remaining butter into the rice, along with the freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Adjust texture with additional broth. Taste for seasoning, and serve hot from a large platter onto warmed plates.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
