Steps:
- Coat a large saucepan generously with olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and sweat them until translucent, about 5 minutes. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, letting the rice slightly stick to the bottom of the pan and scraping it off. It should also sound crackly.
- Add the saffron to the hot chicken stock; the stock should turn bright yellow.
- Add the wine to the pan until it covers the surface of the rice. Season with salt and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the wine has absorbed into the rice. Add the saffron chicken stock to the pan until it covers the rice. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the stock has absorbed into the rice.
- Repeat this process two more times with the hot saffron chicken stock. When the third addition of the stock has absorbed and the rice is very creamy, bite a couple grains of rice to be sure it is cooked perfectly. If it is still a little crunchy, add a little more stock and cook the rice for another couple of minutes. When the rice is cooked perfectly, remove it from the heat.
- Toss in the butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano and "whip the heck out of it." The rice should be creamy but still flow and hold its own shape.

Tips:
- Use high-quality Arborio rice for the best results. It has a high starch content that creates a creamy texture.
- Toast the rice in butter before adding the broth. This helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
- Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even seafood broth can be used. Be sure to season it with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Add the broth gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it. It should not be mushy.
- Stir in butter, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley just before serving. This will add richness, flavor, and color to the dish.
- Serve the risotto immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
