Ingredients

    2/5 cup Italian medium-grain rice
    1 tsp olive oil
    1/2 Tbsp butter

Directions

1. Use a broad but not too shallow pan. Heat oil, add rice, and brown over medium heat.
2. In quarter-cup batches add water and/or brother and let it be absorbed by the cooking rice. You may substitute wine or other liquids for some of the water. Dry wines are preferable to sweet wines. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and stir frequently.
