Bloom the Saffron
Warm 4 tbsp of the stock in a small bowl. Add the saffron threads and let steep for 10 minutes until the liquid turns a deep golden yellow. This is the soul of Milanese risotto — do not skip this step.
💡 Chef's Tip
Crush the saffron threads gently between your fingers before adding to release more colour and flavour.
