5Pour 6 tablespoons olive oil into a large pan on medium heat.

When hot, add the onion, garlic and herbs, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The onion should just colour a little.

11Repeat this operation, a little at a time, intil all the stock has been used up.Pea risotto "Mantecare" : etape 25
12Stop when the rice is cooked to your taste and still a little moist. A risotto should never be completely dry.

This whole process is supposed to take 18 minutes, but this will depend on a lot of things (type of rice, intensity of cooking, etc.), and it is best to expect it to take nearer 30 minutes.

Remarks

For an authentic Italian touch, try to find `carnaroli' rice if you can.
You can replace the vegetable stock with chicken stock if you prefer (a simple stock cube dissolved in hot water).
