- STEP 2Keeping the pan on a medium heat, add a drop more oil and fry the onions and garlic for two minutes.
- STEP 3Add the rice to the pan, along with the mushrooms again and a slosh of water and wine if you are using it. Also add the stock cube.
- STEP 4You should be cooking for about 30-40 minutes on a medium heat, constantly stirring and adding water a bit at a time, when the rice seems to have soaked up the water add more. You should be contantly tasting to test when the rice is ready, and arborio rice only gets softer in the last few minutes. So be careful.
