  1. Chop the saffron pistils and let them dissolve in a bowl of stock.<\/li>\n
  2. In the meantime, melt 80g butter in a pan, browning the shallot and then add the rice and toast it.<\/li>\n
  3. Pour the white wine into the pan and leave to evaporate. Once all the alcohol has evaporated, pour 2 ladles of boiling stock to the side of the pan so the temperature of the rice does not decrease.<\/li>\n
  4. Halfway through cooking, add the dissolved saffron.<\/li>\n
  5. Once cooked, cream the rice with the remaining butter and grated Parmigiano Reggiano, add salt to taste.<\/li>\n
  6. Leave the risotto to rest a minute before serving<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
