Creamy, rich risotto hails from the north of Italy where it is traditionally served a first course. Milan has its own unique version flavored with saffron which can be served with osso bucco as a main course, or served without meat as a starter. Fragrant saffron imparts not only a sweet, grassy flavor to the risotto, but also its signature vibrant yellow hue. When the risotto is first removed from the Suvie it will appear dry, but slowly stirring in the warm broth will give it the creamy consistency we all know and love. 

Note: If you would like to schedule this meal but do not want to wait for the broiler to cool before refrigerating, the shallot, garlic, olive oil, and salt can be sautéd in a medium skillet over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes, instead of broiling in Step 1.
