PrintShe's baaack! My broken arm has healed up pretty good so I'm not a disaster in the kitchen anymore. So, what's a better way to celebrate than to whip up a dish to honor Milan-San Remo?
For this special event, I present to you with Risotto Alla Milanese.
It’s perfect to honor the longest one-day race with a local dish that also takes patience to prepare. Risotto is very simple to make, but you have to add the liquid little by little and wait for the risotto to cook through. Just like Milan-San Remo making risotto can test your endurance (in the kitchen) but the payoff is big.
And, with the history of this dish and of the race, I give you a sneak peak into some exclusive bonus footage of the 2004 Milan-San Remo.

Looks tasty...
Except for the vegetable part. ;-)
Thank goodness I stayed tuned for the bonus coverage. Great picture.
Perfect choice
You can add the water while they ride the Capi. Perfect way to kill time.
Wait, a half-teaspoon of saffron? What am I, a Rockafeller?

I thought the same thing, too.
Then, I thought, how often do I use saffron? Not that often. So, I usually have it sitting around looking at me sadly with those red strands that magically turn everything yellow. Including my fingers, except this time, strangely, only my thumb. It’s worth a splurge.
Tastes medicinal to me.
I like to turn things yellow with turmeric. I don’t suppose that would work here?

What I said was, If you don’t like saffron, Risotto Milanese is not the dish for you.)
Sniff. Somewhere out there, there must be a dish for me...

Great recipe, but I already have a Spag Bol cooked up and waiting for some perfect al dente pasta.
To go with the Chianti, the Peroni and perhaps even a little Amoretto for afters.
I wanna smell the Mediterranean.
next time....don't forget the gravy!!
My Mom makes a Killer Risotto. This looks like hers.
(mouth watering now).
