Marrow in Milanese rice
The Accademia Italiana della Cucina records beef marrow, broth, saffron and grated cheese in Felice Luraschi’s Milanese rice recipe of 1829. This is a documented recipe reference, rather than proof that every Milanese risotto must contain marrow.
At the table
Choose a risotto recipe that includes marrow and follow its quantities. Its presence should shape the whole preparation, rather than becoming an extra ingredient added to an already finished risotto.
