Avoid boiling the broth and keep it hot
In a pan, fry the green onion in 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, with the olive oil, until they become transparent without browning
Mix in the rice and stir well
Gently simmer for a while and add 1 cup of hot broth
Continue cooking and stirring with a wooden spoon until the rice has absorbed the liquid
Add another 1/2 cup of broth and continue cooking and stirring until all the broth is used according to basic risotto instructions
If needed, add warm water
When the rice is almost cooked, remove from heat, mix in the Parmesan cheese and the remaining butter or margarine
Mix well and adjust seasoning
Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes
The risotto should be creamy but not liquid
Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese
