- In the same pan, melt another tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cook until the onion is translucent.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stir continuously to prevent sticking. Once the edges of the rice become translucent, add the white wine and stir until it's fully absorbed.
