Method
-
step 1
Chop leek into small bite size pieces and fry in olive oil over a medium heat
-
step 2
When the leek has wilted, add the rice and keep stirring until it becomes more or less see-through (around 5 minutes). You may need to add more olive oil at this point to stop it sticking
-
step 3
Meanwhile, chop the chicken into small pieces
-
step 4
Once the rice is looking fairly translucent, add a little water (around 200ml, or about half a coffee mug full) and stir the mixture around to check nothing has stuck to the bottom of the pan. If it has, scrape it off with a wooden spoon – it’ll be fine!
-
step 5
Add the chicken to the pan and more stock if needed
-
step 6
Turn the heat down to simmer, add tarragon and stir
-
step 7
You’ll notice the water reducing. When it starts to bubble low in the pan, add another 100-200ml of stock. Stir every few minutes for the next 15-20 minutes
-
step 8
Taste the rice. If it seems stodgy, add a little more stock and continue to simmer until it has a smooth consistency.
-
step 9
When the rice has the right texture, turn off the heat, add a knob of butter and the grated parmesan and black pepper, then cover the pan with a plate and leave for 2 minutes
-
step 10
When you take the plate off, the butter and cheese will have melted. Stir the mixture together until it is the same consistency all over and serve.
