Preparation:
  1. Prepare all the ingredients as described above.

  2. Rinse the rice well several times under running cold water until the milky color disappears. That way you flush out arsenic, dirt and gluten.

  4. Add chopped onion, mix well, stew until soft.

  5. Add washed and strained rice and fry for about 1–2 minutes.

  7. After 10 minutes, pour the rest of the broth, mix and cook on low heat another 10–15 minutes.

  8. During cooking, add a saffron, little water at a time until the rice is soft.

  9. When the rice is soft, and liquid a little rest, add a cube of butter, stir until combined, then add 1 spoon of Parmesan cheese, cook for about 1–2 minutes, turn off the heat.
