At that time, the city of Milan was known not only for its art and fashion, but also for its exquisite cuisine. It is said that this dish was created by an apprentice glassmaker in the 16th century. Inspired by the shine of the saffron he used in his works, he decided to incorporate it into the rice, giving rise to a unique and instantly recognizable recipe.<\/p>\n<h4>The symbol of saffron<\\\/h4><br \/>\nThe saffron not only provides its characteristic golden color, but also an aroma and flavor that make this dish unmistakable. This ingredient, known as &#8220;red gold,&#8221; has been valued for centuries. Its ability to transform the simplest dishes into authentic culinary jewels is what makes it an indispensable element in this recipe.<\/p>\n<hr \\\/>\n<h3><strong>Main ingredients<\\\/strong><\\\/h3><br \/>\n<strong>For 2 people:<\\\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Preparation time:<\\\/strong> 10 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Cooking time:<\\\/strong> 25-30 minutes<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>160 g Carnaroli rice (or Arborio)<\\\/li>\n<li>40 g butter (divided into 2 parts)<\\\/li>\n<li>40 g bone marrow (veal midollo)<\\\/li>\n<li>1\\\/2 onion, finely chopped<\\\/li>\n<li>1\\\/4 glass dry white wine<\\\/li>\n<li>750 ml meat broth (keep hot at all times)<\\\/li>\n<li>0.5 g saffron (a few threads dissolved in a little hot broth)<\\\/li>\n<li>40 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese<\\\/li>\n<li>Salt to taste<\\\/li>\n<li>White pepper<\\\/li><br \/>\n<\\\/ul><br \/>\n<strong>Remember:<\\\/strong> At the end of the article you will find the complete recipe card with detailed cooking and preparation times.<\/p>\n<p><img  title=\"Risotto alla milanese: the traditional Italian recipe ~ Main courses Recipes  ~ La ragazza col mattarello\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13296 size-full\" src=\"https:\\\/\\\/www.laragazzacolmattarello.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/01\\\/Risotto-a-la-milanesa-risotto-alla-milanese-la-ricetta-tradicional-italiana-1.jpg\"  alt=\"Risotto alla milanese: the traditional Italian recipe ~ Main courses Recipes  ~ La ragazza col mattarello\"  width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \\\/><\/p>\n<hr \\\/>\n<h3>Step-by-step preparation of risotto alla milanese<\\\/h3><\/p>\n<h4>Saut\u00e9 the onion in butter<\\\/h4><br \/>\nIn a wide, heavy-bottomed pan, melt one part of the butter and add the finely chopped onion. Cook over low heat until translucent, but without browning it. This step is essential to create the aromatic base of the risotto.<\/p>\n<h4>Toast the rice dry<\\\/h4><br \/>\nIn a separate pan, add the Carnaroli rice without any liquid or fat. Stir constantly for a few minutes to toast it slightly. This process seals the grains and helps maintain their structure during cooking.<\/p>\n<h4>Combine the preparations and deglaze with white wine<\\\/h4><br \/>\nWhen the rice is toasted, transfer it to the pan with the saut\u00e9ed onion. Mix well to combine the flavors. Then, pour in the dry white wine. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the alcohol has completely evaporated. This will leave only its touch of acidity, balancing the dish.<\/p>\n<h4>Cook the rice with the hot broth<\\\/h4><br \/>\nIncorporate the meat broth, which must be kept hot at all times. Add it one ladle at a time, stirring constantly so that the rice absorbs it before adding more. This process, known as &#8220;mantecatura,&#8221; releases the starch from the rice and ensures the creamy texture characteristic of risotto.<\/p>\n<h4>Add the saffron<\\\/h4><br \/>\nHalfway through cooking, dissolve the saffron threads in a little hot broth and add it to the rice. This will give its distinctive golden color and an unmistakable aroma. Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is al dente.<\/p>\n<h4>Finish with butter and Parmigiano<\\\/h4><br \/>\nWhen the rice is cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Add the remaining cold butter and the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir gently to integrate the ingredients and achieve a perfect emulsion. Thus, the risotto will have exceptional shine and creaminess.<\/p>\n<h4>Serve hot and enjoy<\\\/h4><br \/>\nLet the risotto rest for a minute before serving it on hot plates. Garnish with an extra touch of grated Parmigiano and a pinch of freshly ground white pepper to enhance its flavor.<\/p>\n<p><img  title=\"Risotto alla milanese: the traditional Italian recipe ~ Main courses Recipes  ~ La ragazza col mattarello\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13299 size-full\" src=\"https:\\\/\\\/www.laragazzacolmattarello.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/01\\\/Risotto-a-la-milanesa-risotto-alla-milanese-la-ricetta-tradicional-italiana-2.jpg\"  alt=\"Risotto alla milanese: the traditional Italian recipe ~ Main courses Recipes  ~ La ragazza col mattarello\"  width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \\\/><\/p>\n<hr \\\/>\n<h3>Tips and tricks for a perfect risotto alla milanese<\\\/h3><\/p>\n<h4>The broth matters<\\\/h4><br \/>\nThe broth should be homemade and kept hot throughout the cooking process. A good meat broth makes the difference in the final flavor of the dish.<\/p>\n<h4>Cold butter is key<\\\/h4><br \/>\nTo obtain the characteristic creamy texture of risotto, add the butter at the end, straight from the refrigerator. This trick ensures a perfect emulsion.<\/p>\n<h4>Saffron: quality over quantity<\\\/h4><br \/>\nUse authentic saffron threads and dissolve them beforehand in hot broth. This extracts all its color and aroma.<\/p>\n<hr \\\/>\n<h3><strong>Related recipes you will love<\\\/strong><\\\/h3><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\\\/\\\/www.laragazzacolmattarello.com\\\/es\\\/pasta-con-tomate-y-albahaca-pasta-al-pomodoro-allitaliana\\\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pasta with tomato and basil (pasta al pomodoro all&#8217;italiana)<\\\/strong><\\\/a>: One of the most famous pasta recipes in the whole world is pasta al pomodoro.

There I share more recipes, tips, and special content for lovers of Italian cuisine. History and tradition of risotto alla milanese A dish that evokes the elegance of Milan Risotto alla milanese has a long tradition that dates back centuries. At that time, the city of Milan was known not only for its art and fashion, but also for its exquisite cuisine. It is said that this dish was created by an apprentice glassmaker in the 16th century. Inspired by the shine of the saffron he used in his works, he decided to incorporate it into the rice, giving rise to a unique and instantly recognizable recipe. The symbol of saffron The saffron not only provides its characteristic golden color, but also an aroma and flavor that make this dish unmistakable. This ingredient, known as &#8220;red gold,&#8221; has been valued for centuries. Its ability to transform the simplest dishes into authentic culinary jewels is what makes it an indispensable element in this recipe. Main ingredients For 2 people: Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 25-30 minutes 160 g Carnaroli rice (or Arborio) 40 g butter (divided into 2 parts) 40 g bone marrow (veal midollo) 1\\\/2 onion, finely chopped 1\\\/4 glass dry white wine 750 ml meat broth (keep hot at all times) 0.5 g saffron (a few threads dissolved in a little hot broth) 40 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese Salt to taste White pepper Remember: At the end of the article you will find the complete recipe card with detailed cooking and preparation times. Step-by-step preparation of risotto alla milanese Saut\u00e9 the onion in butter In a wide, heavy-bottomed pan, melt one part of the butter and add the finely chopped onion. Cook over low heat until translucent, but without browning it. This step is essential to create the aromatic base of the risotto. Toast the rice dry In a separate pan, add the Carnaroli rice without any liquid or fat. Stir constantly for a few minutes to toast it slightly. This process seals the grains and helps maintain their structure during cooking. Combine the preparations and deglaze with white wine When the rice is toasted, transfer it to the pan with the saut\u00e9ed onion. Mix well to combine the flavors. Then, pour in the dry white wine. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the alcohol has completely evaporated. This will leave only its touch of acidity, balancing the dish. Cook the rice with the hot broth Incorporate the meat broth, which must be kept hot at all times. Add it one ladle at a time, stirring constantly so that the rice absorbs it before adding more. This process, known as &#8220;mantecatura,&#8221; releases the starch from the rice and ensures the creamy texture characteristic of risotto. Add the saffron Halfway through cooking, dissolve the saffron threads in a little hot broth and add it to the rice. This will give its distinctive golden color and an unmistakable aroma. Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is al dente. Finish with butter and Parmigiano When the rice is cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Add the remaining cold butter and the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir gently to integrate the ingredients and achieve a perfect emulsion. Thus, the risotto will have exceptional shine and creaminess. Serve hot and enjoy Let the risotto rest for a minute before serving it on hot plates. Garnish with an extra touch of grated Parmigiano and a pinch of freshly ground white pepper to enhance its flavor. Tips and tricks for a perfect risotto alla milanese The broth matters The broth should be homemade and kept hot throughout the cooking process. A good meat broth makes the difference in the final flavor of the dish. Cold butter is key To obtain the characteristic creamy texture of risotto, add the butter at the end, straight from the refrigerator. This trick ensures a perfect emulsion. Saffron: quality over quantity Use authentic saffron threads and dissolve them beforehand in hot broth. This extracts all its color and aroma.
