Saffron Risotto Ingredients:
8 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
4 shallots, finely diced
2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup brandy
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Risotto Procedure:
Bring vegetable stock to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and keep warm on stove.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, deep sauté pan or stockpot over medium heat. Add shallots, cooking until just tender, about 3 minutes.
Add rice, stirring to coat in butter. Cook until rice turns milky white and opaque, and just begins to stick to bottom of pan.
Add wine and brandy, and stir 2 minutes, until liquid is almost absorbed. Crumble saffron into pan, stirring to combine.
Ladle about 1 cup simmering stock into rice. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring often, until stock is almost completely absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring gently until almost all broth is absorbed before adding next cup. Add stock until rice is creamy and cooked through.
Stir in mascarpone, cream, and Parmesan; season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
