Directions:

  1. Heat the vegetable stock to a low simmer. Keep simmering throughout the making of this recipe.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the saffron and 1 cup of the vegetable stock. Set aside to infuse.
  3. Heat oil in a very large skillet (12 inch diameter at least).
  4. Saute the onions, garlic, carrots and zucchini in the oil until the onions are translucent.
  5. Add the Arborio rice and stir for a few minutes.
  6. Add the wine, the saffron-infused stock, and an additional ladle of stock. Stir well.
  7. Add pepper to taste.
  8. Stir the risotto until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  9. Add 1-2 ladles of vegetable stock and stir until the liquid is absorbed.
  10. Repeat the previous step until the the rice is tender but there is still a speck of white in the center of each grain. This is a sign of a well-made risotto. This should take about 20 minutes.
  11. Serve with Parmesan cheese if desired.
