Risotto - so easy

A lot of people think this is hard to make, but it's one of the easiest side dishes.

1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
1 cup arborio rice, available on the rice aisle
s and p
chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup of parmesan cheese

Cook garlic and onion for 2 minutes. Then add rice and cook for another minute. While this is cooking, heat chicken stock in a separate pan. When hot, add a cup to the rice/onions, and stir. Reduce heat. Stir often and continue adding a half cup of liquid each time the liquid becomes absorbed. Cook about 25 minutes. When rice is cooked to desired consistency, remove from heat and add cheese and peas.
