{"0":"1. Melt the butter and oil in a large frying pan. Add the onions and sweat gently for 3 minutes or until softened, but do not allow to brown.","2":"2. Add the garlic and thyme, and stir in the rice. Season and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to coat the rice.","4":"3. Pour in the white wine, a quarter at a time, and continue to cook, stirring constantly until completely absorbed.","6":"4. Add the hot stock a ladleful at a time, stirring gently until fully absorbed before adding the next. Constantly stir until the rice is just cooked or al dente, about 25-30 minutes.","8":"5. Remove from the heat, stir in the cheese and serve immediately.","10":"Notes:","11":"Always use hot stock in order to get excellent results every time.","13":"Don't try to rush it. Cook it slowly on the lowest heat and stir continually.","15":"Stir using a wooden spoon to allow the starch to be released from the grain.","17":"Always add the parmesan at the last minute or it will release too much oil and spoil the risotto.","19":"If wished, add 1\/2 garlic clove cracked and soft herbs to infuse","21":"For a vegetable variation add 7oz of cooked vegetables (e.g. squash, pumpkins, courgettes, etc)"}
