Serves 6

A classic risotto which can be served alone as a starter or to accompany a main dish (the best known being Osso Bucco). Use a strong home made chicken stock as that is the main flavoring along with the saffron. If available, use the plump Italian arborio rice which is ideally suited to risotto.
