Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 6 tablespoons finely diced Onion
• 2 cups Arborio Risotto Rice
• 1/2 cup Champagne or Sparkling White Wine
• 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth warmed
• Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste

• Add rice. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes until rice is hot to the touch.

• Add warmed broth. Lower heat to medium high. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until liquid has reduced almost entirely.
