Here's what i posted on that thread.... and it's pretty healthy, risotto doesn't need cream, and you can fry the onions in oil. But it's going to improve it if you add butter and parmesan at the end...

Fry chopped onions, possibly some garlic, celery in oil or butter. When coloured add you weighed risotto rice and stir for a minute or two. Then add a good glass of wine/vermouth/sherry and let the alcohol burn off for a minute or two.

Then add a couple of ladles of stock, and stir fairly constantly until that is nearly all abosrbed and then add 2 more ladles. Keep stirring and adding until your rice is cooked, kind of al dente (but definitely cooked - may take 20 mins and will use lots of stock). The stirring part of the process is the vital bit as it gives the risotto the sloppy quality it should have - it does mean it's quite hands on though! At end stir in butter and parmesan.

This is the basic recipe. Pretty much anything can be added to it during the cooking if you want it meaty/fishy/vegetables.
