Cook the Risotto:
- In a large saucepan, combine butter and canola oil. Saute the onion over medium heat until translucent.
- Add the arborio rice and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir continuously to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Once the rice has absorbed the broth, add another cup of broth along with the tomato paste. Repeat this process until the rice is fully cooked, approximately 20 minutes. The rice should have a translucent appearance and a creamy consistency.
