2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 cup Arborio rice
3 cups boiling water
2 oz. fresh Parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Put the butter and oil into a deep, microwaveable dish.
(At every stage of cooking, keep the dish uncovered
and the microwave on high.) Place in the microwave
for 2 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and stir to
coat in the butter and oil. Microwave for four minutes.
Add the rice, stir, then microwave for 4 minutes. Pour
in 3 cups boiling water. Microwave for 9 minutes. Stir
well, then microwave for 9 minutes more. Remove
from the microwave and let sit, for 5 minutes, to allow
the rice to absorb the rest of the water. Stir several
times during the 5 minutes. Flake the Parmesan with
a vegetable parer or sharp knife, then stir in. Add salt
and pepper to taste, then serve hot.
