- In a medium pot saute the onions in olive oil until golden. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Add the bay leaf and white wine and allow the wine to evaporate. Add the saffron and the boiling veal stock covering 1 inch above the rice. Let the rice cook at moderate heat for about 18 minutes stirring continuously. You may add the rest of the veal stock as needed.
- At the end, add 1 ounce of extra virgin olive oil and parmigiano cheese. Stir with a wooden spoon until the rice is creamy. To serve, ladle 5 ounces of risotto in the middle of each plate. Hollow the middle of the rice (volcano) and place the Osso Buco inside and cover with the veal sauce. Sprinkle with parmigiano cheese and serve.
