Kcal
- 300g (1.5 cups) Arborio rice
- 0.5g (a generous pinch) saffron threads
- 1L (4 cups) Halal chicken broth
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 30ml (2 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil
- 30ml (2 tbsp) white vinegar
- 60g (2 oz) Halal-certified Parmesan cheese, grated
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Warm the Halal chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat, adding the saffron threads to infuse. Set it aside, letting the golden hue develop.
- In a large skillet, gently heat the extra-virgin olive oil over a medium flame. Add the finely chopped onion, stirring patiently until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes. This is where the foundation of flavor begins.
- Introduce the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until the edges of the grains appear translucent. This step is crucial for the rice to absorb flavors.
- Pour in the white vinegar, stirring constantly until it is fully absorbed by the rice. This will add a subtle depth to the dish.
- Begin adding the saffron-infused broth, one ladle at a time. Stir frequently, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 18 minutes, resulting in rice that is creamy yet al dente.
- Once the rice has reached the desired texture, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the grated Halal-certified Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and enrich the risotto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, adorned with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
