Ingredients

  • 250 g Arborio Rice
  • 1 Onion Finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced

  • 1 litre Vegetable Broth
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano

Instructions

  • In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
