From My Rasoi # 6 : For the love of Rice "Risotto con Ossibuchi"

"
This recipe is not a typical summer dish, but I think it's very tasty.
It reminds when I was a child and my favourite main course was risotto allo zafferano.
A friend of my parents, Nives, used to prepare this combination of rice and meat in winter, when on sunday evenings the adults met to play cards. These evenings were a fun for all the children, we were all girls and we spent all the time changing dresses and playing as princesses!
Anyway... it was long time ago!!
Unfortunately I don't know how to say ossobuco inEnglish!

Ingredients for 4

400 gr of rice (Carnaroli)

1 lt. beef broth

1/2 onion

60 gr of butter

2 tablespoon of oil

Saffron threads

1/2 glass of white wine

100 of grated Parmigiano cheese

200 gr of flour

4 ossibuchi

Cover 4 ossibuchi with flour, melt the butter with the chopped onion and cook at high temperature both sides of ossibuchi, then low the flame and continue to cook for 30 minutes with the white wine.

In the same time preparethe risotto.

Put two tablespoon of extravirgin olive oil in a pan with the rice and toast. Then add the beef broth and the saffron threads and cook melting slowly with a wood spoon.

Add butter and grated Parmigiano cheese.

Serve with ossibuchi.
