Risotto is an Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency, with the broth derived from meat, fish, or vegetables. Many types of risotto contain butter, onion, white wine, and Parmesan cheese, and it is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy; saffron was originally used for flavor and its signature yellow color.
