|---|---|
| 4 tablespoons | Virgin olive oil |
| 1 medium | Spanish onion; cut 1/4\" dice |
| 1 cup | Arborio rice |

In a 12- by 14-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add Arborio rice and stir with wooden spoon until rice is toasted and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add red wine and continue cooking over medium heat until liquid is absorbed.
Add hot chicken stock, 1 ladle at a time, waiting until stock is absorbed each time until rice is cooked and has a creamy texture, about 15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. This dish stands on its own as a pasta course but also serves as an excellent side dish for roasted meats. This recipe yields 4 servings.
