Saffron Risotto with Walnut Crumble.

A classic Italian dish, with the addition of walnut crumble, which you can omit, or replace with another type of crumble, such as pistachio,
or even mushrooms, to be added to the recipe at the same time I indicated for the walnuts.
This is a dish that can be prepared in a short time, with ingredients we all have at home, so if you want to make a different dish, or have unexpected guests, here you go, in 20 minutes you have solved the evening.

Steps
Saffron Risotto with Walnut Crumble
Start by preparing some good vegetable broth or with a simple cube and keep it hot throughout the preparation of the risotto.
Chop the walnuts with a knife, and put them in a small bowl.
Do the same with the shallot.
Put a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan, and sauté the shallot.
Choose good Carnaroli, and when the shallot is golden, add the rice in the pan and toast it.
When you notice it becoming transparent, deglaze with the wine and let it evaporate.
At this point, dissolve the saffron in a bowl with a little broth, and incorporate some ladles of broth to the rice. As the rice dries, add more, tossing in the pan without stirring.
When the risotto is cooked, turn off the heat and add half of the chopped walnuts, butter, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and stir.
Let it rest for 2 minutes.
Finally, decorate with the remaining walnuts. Here is the Saffron Risotto with Walnut Crumble ready
