Risotto

Risotto, an Italian dish, consisting chiefly of rice. Onions are shred into a frying-pan with plenty of butter, and they are fried together until the onions become very brown, and communicate their colour to the butter. The butter is then run off, and to this is added some rich broth, slightly coloured with saffron, and the whole is thickened with well-boiled rice, and served up instead of soup at the commencement of a dinner.
