- 250 mL
- 1/2 cup

- 125 mL
- 1 carton

Directions
Step 1
Start by heating 2 tsp (10 mL) of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed, medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring until translucent, about 3 min. Next, add the rice, stirring to coat in oil until lightly toasted, about 2 min. Tip: Toast the rice to prevent the kernels from absorbing too much moisture and making the dish mushy.
Step 2
Add the wine and stir until it's almost fully absorbed. Then, add the chicken broth one cup (250 mL) at a time. It's not necessary to stir constantly, but you should stir often. Let the rice almost fully absorb the broth before adding another cup. Tip: Slowly add the broth, one cup at a time.
Step 3
Continue cooking until the rice is creamy, cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 20 min. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and pepper. Serve with a drizzle of the remaining olive oil and a shaving of fresh Parmesan if desired. Tip: Stir occasionally until broth is almost absorbed.
