2 Shallots, diced
1.5 Cups Arborio Rice
.5 Cup Dry White Wine

Warm the broth in a saucepan or the microwave and hold aside for cooking later

Sautee the shallots in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil for 1 minute and then add the dry Arborio rice.  Stir constantly until the rice is a light golden color

Add the .5 cup of white wine and stir constantly until it is absorbed by the rice.  Continue adding .5 cup of the warm chicken broth at a time, stirring constantly and waiting until it has been absorbed by the rice until the rice is al-dente – about 20 minutes.
