Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. If you are making your stock with stock cubes, boil the kettle now. make the stock up with 2-3 cubes.
  2. Add the olive oil to a heavy bottomed saucepan or large frying pan and saute the onion until soft.
  3. Add the rice - stir it to coat it with the oil and keep going until it's transparent.
  4. Add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time - the first one should sizzle and sing at you! Stir it in, add enough black pepper for your taste and simmer.
  5. Each time the stock is absorbed, add another ladleful and simmer some more until all the stock is gone.
  6. Keep an eye on your rice and stir frequently - after around 15 minutes it should be soft and creamy looking.
  7. Stir in the parmesan, again, however much takes your fancy, cover and leave for 2 minutes.
  8. Serve with fresh crusty bread.
