Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large pan, melt the butter and sweat the onions over low heat without letting it caramelize

Step 2

Add the rice and mix well. Saute over low heat until rice turns translucent

Step 3

Add white wine and turn up heat. Stirring constantly until white wine is completely absorbed by rice

Step 4

Add stock to rice. Stop adding stock when rice has been covered by liquid. Bring to the boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Leave rice uncovered and stir occasionally to prevent bottom from burning. Add more stock if liquid has been reduced too much. Keep simmering until rice is creamy and al dente (approximately 20 minutes)
