  2. Reduce the heat to low.
  3. Heat the olive oil and butter in a saucepan, fry the onion (chopped into fine rice-grain-sized pieces), and then add the rice.
  4. When the rice starts to make a popping sound, add the white wine and let it simmer until reduced to 2/3-1/2 the amount.
  5. Add the bouillon and saffron and make a risotto.
  6. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, making sure the rice is covered with liquid.
  7. Add the cream and Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and let it cool in a shallow container.

  9. Grind the panko in a food processor and mix with a bit of Parmesan cheese.
  10. Roll the chilled risotto into bite-sized balls, coat with flour, egg, and panko, then deep-fry until golden
