These are just a few ideas. Feel free to suggest other

Mise en place:
-Fine dice onion.

-Make up stock
-Weigh rice

1) Sweat the onion in olive oil until translucent
2) Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, avoid the garlic going brown
3) Add rice to the pan on a low heat coating in the oil for under a minute, stirring to avoid browning the rice
4) Gradually add the stock, stirring continuously. After the rice has absorbed the stock continue adding until the the rice is cooked or all the stock is used. If all the stock is used but the rice is not cooked, use water to complete the cooking.
5) Turn off the heat and add the herbs and cheese, stir to melt in and transfer to your container or plate.
