Description

This creamy Saffron Risotto is a classic of Italian cuisine and an absolute must for every lover of rice dishes. I have been making it for years and it always succeeds! The secret lies in the beef marrow, which gives the risotto an incredible depth and an incomparable taste. Preparation with the Thermomix® is very easy and saves time without sacrificing the authentic taste. Perfect as a main course for a cozy dinner or as a festive course for special occasions. A touch of black pepper rounds off the dish perfectly. Buon appetito!
