Step 01
Step 02
Peel the shallot and chop it. Sweat the shallot in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Then add the rice and brown it for a few seconds, until it becomes translucent. Once pearly, wet the rice with the white wine, and let the alcohol evaporate completely.
Step 03
Add 3 ladles of chicken (or turkey) broth. Always stir and wait until the rice has absorbed all the liquid before adding another ladle of broth. Continue until the rice cooks completely (about 20 minutes).
Step 04
Once cooked, remove the pan from heat. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and the cold butter cut into cubes. Mix well and then add the chicken (or turkey) meat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
