Rice With Saffron Recipe

(Riso alla Milanese con Zafferano)

Wash and dry the rice and put it in boiling broth (beef or chicken

broth). When the rice is half cooked add half its weight of marrow of

beef bone, cut into small pieces. A few minutes are sufficient for the

cooking of the marrow. Add grated cheese and remove the kettle from the

fire.

Dissolve some saffron in one or two tablespoonfuls of broth; sift it

through a sieve and mix with rice, which is to be served very hot, and

makes an excellent soup.
