2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 1/2 c.)
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 lb fresh peas, shelled (1 1/2 c fresh peas or 10 oz. frozen peas, defrosted and drained)

salt
fresh ground black pepper
8 cups chicken stock or 8 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
1 cup arborio rice (or other Italian short-grain rice)
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

1
Heat the olive oil and butter in a 4 to 5 quart pot over medium heat until the butter is foaming.

Stir in the onion and cook, stirring, until light golden, about 8 minutes.

6
Adjust heat to simmering and cook until the peas and other vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
