Anchovy Risotto - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 cups fish stock
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 tablespoon oil (from container of anchovy fillets)
    1/3 cup onion, minced
    1 garlic clove, minced
    6 anchovy fillets (flat)
    1 1/2 cups arborio rice
    3 anchovy fillets (flat, minced)
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (use best quality possible)
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation
    Bring broth to a steady simmer in a saucepan.
    In a heavy 4-quart dutch oven, heat the butter and oil (from the containers of anchovies) over moderate heat. Add the onion, garlic, and six anchovy fillets. Using a wooden spoon, mash the anchovies. Saute for 1-2 minutes, until onion begins to soften it.
    Add the rice to the pan; stir for one minute, making sure grains are well coated.
    Add the wine and stir until it is completely absorbed.
    Add a half-cup of the broth and stir until broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth, a half-cup at a time, and continue stirring continuously. Wait until each addition of broth is absorbed before adding the next half-cup.
    After the rice has become tender (18-25 minutes), add the final broth and stir until absorbed. Turn off the heat and add the minced anchovies, butter, Parmesan, and parsley, and stir until combined (1-2 minutes).
    Serve immediately.
