- In the meantime, in a large pan, heat olive oil. Add onion until translucent then add the rice until translucent too. Add wine and continue to stir until the wine has been absorbed.
- Add two ladles of stock and stir. Once stock is absorbed, add another two ladles. Stir until absorbed. Repeat until there is no more stock and the rice is tender.
