This creative take on Italian risotto is made with real saffron and marinated artichokes.

Preparation Time
15 minutes

Cooking Time
30 minutes

Ingredients (serves 8)

7 cups (1.75 litres) chicken or vegetable stock
1 tsp saffron threads
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
50g butter
2 brown onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 cups (660g) arborio rice
1 cup (250ml) dry white wine
6 marinated baby artichokes, halved
1 cup (80g) finely grated parmesan
Extra virgin olive oil, to serve

Method

Combine stock and saffron in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; keep at a gentle simmer.

Heat oil and butter in a large, shallow saucepan over medium heat until butter melts. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Add rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until rice grains appear glassy and coated in butter mixture.

Add wine and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Add stock, one ladleful (1/2 cup) at a time, stirring continuously until all liquid is absorbed before adding more. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender yet firm to the bite and risotto is creamy. Remove from heat.

Add artichokes and parmesan and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Spoon among serving bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
