Instructions
Place 16 saffron threads in a small bowl.
Bring the veal stock to a boil and add a few spoonfuls to the saffron.
Slice the onion into thin slices.
Melt the beef marrow and 50g of butter in a large saucepan and gently sauté the onion for 15 minutes until soft.
Remove the onion from the pan, then add the rice and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
Gradually add the veal stock in portions of 1/2 dl at a time, allowing the rice to absorb it while stirring vigorously.
After 15 minutes, check if the rice is cooked.
It should be firm to the bite.
Strain the saffron-infused stock and stir it into the rice for a beautiful yellow color.
Stir in the remaining saffron threads for extra flavor.
Remove the risotto from the heat, then stir in the remaining butter and half of the cheese until melted.
Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Preheat deep plates and spoon the risotto into them.
Serve immediately, sprinkling a little cheese on each plate.
For the Gremolata:
Finely chop the parsley sprigs, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the zest of the thoroughly washed lemon.
Mix these ingredients together and place it on the table so that each person can add it to their risotto according to their taste.
