Saffron (cheaters) risotto
I cannot afford real saffron but this recipe looks like $30 a plate and costs 50cents
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Put the oil in a pan and fry the onion until soft NOT brown. About 4 mins. Then add the minced garlic for 1 min
* Step 2
Add the butter and then the rice and lower the heat so that all the rice is coated in the oily onion mix
* Step 3
In a separate pan heat the chicken stock (you can use 2 cubes and water but buying bones and making your own is worth the effort)
* Step 4
Turn up the heat in the rice and add a ladle full of chicken stock (about 20%) allow all the liquid to absorb
* Step 5
Repeat adding the stock 20% at a time (so 5 times) each time stir until all the liquid is absorbed
* Step 6
With the final chicken stock add the yellow food colouring, lots of black pepper, salt to taste and cheese if using - when all the liquid has nearly gone remove from heat and serve. Waiting 2-3 mins.
* Step 7
I add a little salt and Thyme on the side.
