Olive Garden Risotto Milanese is a popular Italian dish that originated in Milan. Milanese risotto or risotto alla Milanese is made with saffron and finely chopped onion. It is considered a classic traditional dish and can be found in almost all restaurants. Though it may seem difficult to make, it requires only a few ingredients, with arborio rice being the most important of them all. The creamy consistency and aroma of the dish is what makes it unique and stand out among other classic Italian dishes.

Instructions

1.Heat the olive oil in a pot on medium heat for about a minute.
2.Once the oil is heated up, add the minced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
