• Cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes, without colouring the onion, until soft and translucent
• Add the rice to the pan and with a wooden spoon, mix the rice into the shallots.
• Once you hear the rice crack, add the white wine followed by a ladleful of stock and then the saffron and begin to stir.
• Make sure the rice has fully absorbed the stock before you add another ladle.
• Continue adding stock until the rice is tender and cooked through.
