Toast the Rice:

Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the butter and onion mixture.

Toast the rice for about 2 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent at the edges.

Deglaze with Wine (Optional):

Pour in the white wine (if using) and stir until it’s mostly absorbed by the rice.

Cook the Risotto:

Begin adding the warm saffron-infused broth, one ladleful at a time.

Stir continuously and allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding more.

Keep adding broth and stirring until the rice is creamy and cooked al dente (about 18-20 minutes).
