Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a saucepan, warm the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it on low heat throughout the cooking process.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the grains are well-coated with the oil and garlic.
