350 grams risotto rice
40 grams butter (or olive oil depending on the recipe)
1 small onion — finely chopped
1 clove garlic (if the recipe calls for it) — finely chopped
1.5 litres stock
1 glass dry white wine
Bring the stock to the boil and keep warm.
Melt the butter in a wide pan, add the onion (and garlic if needed), and cook over a low heat, stirring from time to time, until the onion has turned translucent – about 5 minutes.
