3. Take a heavy bottomed pan and melt half of the butter in it. Saute the onions over it until they appear translucent.

5. Empty the wine over the onion and boil it briskly until the mixture is just reduced to its half.
6. Add in rice and continue sauting until the rice begins to change its color.
7. Add the boiling stock and stir it well until it gets completely absorbed in rice. Add the boiling stock in very gradual manner.
8. Add all the stock and mix it with the saffron. Stir the mixture well.
9. Cook the rice for about 15-20 minutes until it becomes extra soft.
