Preparation
30 minutes before preparation, put the saffron pistils in a glass with 100 ml of cold water.
Boil the broth together with the water with the saffron pistils, add the rice and when it comes to the boil again, also the Taleggio. Cover with the lid and cook over low heat for 12 minutes, then add 4 slices of smoked bacon cut into strips.
In the meantime, toast the other 4 slices of bacon in a non-stick pan until they become crispy.
