Directions

  1. Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice, stir to coat. (Can turn off heat and let stand several hours.)

  2. Add broth, cover, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until stock is absorbed and rice is creamy and soft with a little \"chew\" at the center, about 12 minutes. Stir in cheese and pepper, add salt, if necessary. Serve hot.
