Instructions:
Step 1
In a small bowl, crumble the saffron threads into the white wine and let them steep for a few minutes.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the olive oil and half of the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Step 3
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast it for a couple of minutes, ensuring the grains are well-coated with the oil and butter.
Step 4
Pour in the saffron-infused white wine and stir until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Step 5
Begin adding the hot chicken or vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding the next.
Step 6
Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, which should take about 18-20 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in the remaining butter and the grated Parmesan cheese, combining until the risotto is creamy and glossy. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve the Risotto alla Milanese immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy this luxurious Italian dish!
