Add the onion, season, and cook gently until softened, about 5 minutes.

Wine

Add 1 cup of the hot broth, stir, and adjust the heat to maintain a brisk simmer. Stir frequently as the rice absorbs the liquid. When you see little sinkholes on the surface of the rice, it is time to add more broth. Do this every 5 minutes, stirring in 1/2 cup chicken broth each time. The total cooking time should be 20 minutes or so, and the rice grains should still be a bit al dente.
