Easy recipe

In a large pan heat the stock. In a separate pan, heat the oil olive and butter, add the garlic and onions and saute slowly for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add the rice and 1 teaspoon of salt and fry and keep stirring for a minute and add the wine and keep stirring. Once the wine has cooked down add a ladle of hot stock. Keep adding ladelfuls of stock one at a time allowing the rice to assorb the stock before adding the next ladle. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.Cook 15 minutes or so until the rice is soft but has a slightly nutty in flavor.

Warm in a small sauce pan the cream over low heat, turn off the heat and add the saffron and let sit for 5 minutes to release the exquisite flavors.

Stir in the cream and saffron mixture into the rice. Garnish with a dollop of Mascarpone and shaved White Truffles.
