1. 1
   In a large skillet saute the onion for 3 minutes, until soft.

11. 11
    I told you it was a fiddly recipe) heat a teaspoon of oil.
12. 12
    Add the rice and stir it around until all the grains are coated.
13. 13
    When the rice begins to go slightly brown begin to add the stock a ladle full at a time.
14. 14
    After each addition, stir the rice until the broth is completely absorbed.
15. 15
    Then add another ladle.
16. 16
    Continue in this manner until all of the stock is absorbed by the rice - your risotto will now have a lovely creamy texture.
