Notes:
Risotto alla Milanese is a famous dish from Milan which was traditionally served with Ossobuco (braised veal shanks). It was originally cooked with beef bone marrow but here is a more modern version which can also be adapted for vegetarians.
Risotto alla Milanese is perfect with braised beef but equally good with any type of meat, even humble sausages. Serve with the meat and dark green vegetables such as spinach or broccoli.
As a starter, Risotto alla Milanese is a perfect accompaniment to mushrooms.
For vegetarians, replace the Parmesan cheese with either vegetarian Parmesan or a hard sheep's cheese and serve with mixed, roasted vegetables.
