Light Saffron and Hazelnut Risotto
  • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients for the Risotto Preparation

  • 5.6 oz Carnaroli rice
  • 1/2 white onion
  • 1.4 oz hazelnuts (coarsely chopped)
  • q.b. vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt 0% fat (to make it creamier)
  • 1/2 glass white wine
  • 1 packet saffron

Steps for the Risotto Preparation

Sauté the onion with a drizzle of oil, add the hazelnuts and rice, toast, and deglaze with a bit of white wine.

Add the broth so that the rice is always covered and halfway through cooking, dissolve the saffron in a ladle of broth.

At the end of cooking, to achieve a creamier consistency, add two tablespoons of Greek yogurt, mix well, and serve hot with a generous sprinkle of hazelnuts.

Notes.

I used yogurt to keep the dish light, but if you’re not on a diet, you can add a cheese like Castelmagno.
