Preparation Sauté the sliced onion in half the butter then remove it. Chop up the ox marrow and add it. Pour in half a glass of dry white wine and let almost all of it evaporate.

Then put in the rice and let it absorb the rest of the wine. Salt and pepper to taste and then let it cook adding a number of spoonfuls of boiling hot broth. Using the last spoonfuls, melt the saffron which will be added just before the dish is served at table.

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining raw butter using a fork to separate the rice grains which should be "al dente". Serve at table immediately on a heated dish and arranging the ox marrow on the top of the rice and adding their sauce on top.
