• 1½ cups arborio rice (don't rinse it — the starch is the sauce)
• 5 cups warm stock, kept on the stove
• 1 small onion, diced fine
• ½ cup white wine
• 3 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp olive oil
• 60g parmesan, grated

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Keep the stock warm in a pot next to you — you'll be visiting it a lot.
2. Soften the onion in oil and half the butter, 4 min, no browning.
3. Add the rice and stir 2 min until the edges look glassy. It'll smell faintly nutty — that's your cue.
4. Wine in, stir until it disappears. Then add stock one ladle at a time, stirring, waiting until each is absorbed. About 18 min. Put music on.
5. Taste at 16 min: soft with a tiny bite in the middle = perfect. It should flow like slow lava, not stand like mash.
6. Off the heat, beat in the rest of the butter and all the parmesan. That final stir is where the creaminess comes from. Serve immediately, feel fancy.
