A delicious, very simple, and fragrant main course, the risotto with meat and saffron is definitely excellent, easy to make and perfect for both lunch and dinner.
The recipe for risotto with meat is my mom’s with an abundant amount of saffron because it gives that exceptional flavor and aroma, maybe it’s not a typical summer dish but risottos are good any time.
In my opinion, this could also be an excellent single dish if consumed in summer, we have both rice and meat but if you don’t like meat you can try other risottos such as with mushrooms, with escarole and sausage or with mushrooms and speck.
Follow me in the kitchen today there’s risotto with meat!
