Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups vegetable broth
  • 3 ½ tablespoons hot water
  • 1 pinch saffron threads
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ onion, thinly sliced
  • 10 ½ ounces Arborio rice
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 ¾ ounces pancetta, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1
Pour vegetable stock into a saucepan over low heat. Cover and keep warm.

Step 2
Combine hot water and saffron threads in a small bowl.

Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a stovetop pressure cooker. Cook and stir onion until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Arborio rice; cook and stir until toasted and coated with oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat and pour in wine; simmer until alcohol has evaporated and rice has absorbed wine, about 2 minutes.

Step 4
Stir vegetable stock and saffron mixture into the pressure cooker. Seal according to manufacturer's instructions. Increase heat to high; cook until cooker whistles, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook for 4 minutes.

Step 5
Remove cooker from heat and release pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Remove the lid. Stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, pancetta, and butter. Let stand until rice absorbs remaining stock and Parmesan cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

If using a regular pot, use 1 quart vegetable stock. Follow recipe above through step 3. Once the wine has been absorbed, reduce heat to medium and stir in warm stock 1 ladleful at a time, stirring after each addition until it is fully absorbed. The rice will take 18 to 20 minutes to cook fully. Add the saffron halfway through cooking. Once the rice is fully cooked, stir in Parmesan cheese, pancetta, and butter. Remove from heat and let stand 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
