Separate butter into two parts; one to start cooking and one part for creaming.

Put saffron in the broth to dissolve.

3

Cut an onion and finely chop it.

4

Prepare a good vegetable broth with carrot, celery, onion, and leek, or use broth cubes.

5

In a pan, heat olive oil and when it starts to heat, add a part of butter and melt it on low heat.

6

Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and cook it slowly.

7

Once the onion has become golden, add the carnaroli rice and toast for 2-3 minutes on low heat.

8

When the rice is toasted well, add the white wine and let it evaporate slowly.

9

Once the wine has evaporated, add some vegetable stock and cook slowly for 13 to 15 minutes until it becomes al dente.

10

When the risotto is ready, turn off the heat and move the pan off the heat; add the other part of butter and Grana Padano cheese and mix well, stirring until the risotto becomes creamy and thick.

11

Once the risotto is ready, serve it with a Grana Padano wafer and a gold leaf as a garnish.
