Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, bring stock to boil. Remove 1 cup (250 mL) to liquid measure; stir in saffron. Set aside. Reduce heat under remaining stock to low and keep warm.In large deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté onion until softened and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add rice, stirring to coat and toast grains, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine (if using) until absorbed.
Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the saffron stock mixture, stirring to prevent rice from sticking to pan and scraping up bottom and side, until liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining saffron stock.
Add remaining stock, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time and stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more, about 20 minutes total. Taste before adding last 1/2 cup (125 mL); rice should be loose, creamy but not mushy, and still slightly firm in centre of grain.
Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese, butter and salt.
