Risotto alla Milanese

Seasoned with saffron, risotto alla Milanese is the classic accompaniment to Osso Buco (see related recipe at left). A small amount of this aromatic spice will add inimitable flavor and a hint of yellow color to the dish. Saffron threads are preferable to powder, which loses its flavor more quickly and can be adulterated with other ingredients.
