8 oz (225g ) of fresh shelled or frozen peas, partially cooked
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped

salt and freshly ground pepper 
freshly grated parmesan cheese

1. gently fry the onion in the butter, careful  not to burn butter or onions

2. add the rice, stir and gently add the white wine, a bit hot stock stirring all the time as the rice absorbs the liquid
