Instructions

  1. 1 Crush saffron threads to a powder with a small mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in boiling water. Cover and set aside.
  2. 2 Mix flour, salt, turmeric, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder together on a large plate and spread in an even layer.
  3. 3 Dry fish well with paper towels. Cut into 3-inch-long pieces and season with salt. Dredge fish in flour mixture until all sides are coated.
  4. 4 Heat oil in a large pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add fish and fry on one side until nice and golden, about 7 minutes. Flip fish, drizzle saffron water over top, and fry the other side until golden and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes.
  5. 5 Transfer fish to a serving platter. Drizzle orange juice over top and serve with orange and lime wedges.

Instructions

  1. 1 Melt half of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Simmer the onion and beef marrow in the butter for about 10 minutes. When the onion is soft, remove the onion and marrow from the pan using a slotted spoon, and set aside. (I like to leave the onions in.)
  2. 2 Saute the rice in the pan over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Stir constantly so the rice will not stick and burn. Stir in one ladle of beef stock, and keep stirring until it is mostly absorbed, ladling and stirring in more of the broth as well as the white wine in the same manner, until the rice is almost al dente. Stir in the saffron, remaining butter, and 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 4 or 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Serve as a bed for ossibuchi or by itself with as much of the remaining Parmesan cheese sprinkled over as you like.
