Considered the fifth basic taste of the human taste, alongside the sweet, salty, bitter and sour, UMAMI – a word of Japanese origin that generally means “tasty” – is naturally present in different foods consumed on the day daily, rich in the amino acid glutamate. Safron and cheese are some of the ingredients where the umami flavor stands out.
Thinking of people who seek ideas on how to include this taste, which gives “mouth water”, Jeapar, holder of Uncle João, my biju and new olive Oliva, prepared this delicious risotto with saffron and Parmesan cheese !!!!
How to make risotto with saffron and Parmesan cheese
Heat, over low heat, 1 tablespoon of butter and withered onion. Add the rice and turmeric and sauté quickly. Add the white wine and stir continuously until it evaporates almost completely. Then add vegetable broth until it covers the rice and stir without stopping until it dries. Repeat this process until the rice is “al dente” (cooked but still firm to the bite). When the rice is at the very creamy point and broth, turn off the heat, add the Parmesan cheese and finally the remaining butter. Season with salt and serve immediately.
