Cooking Steps
1
- Prepare the stock.
- Crush or mince the garlic.
- Slice the carrot into thin crescents and the leek into thin half-rings.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic with the carrot and the leek for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring regularly.
2
- Add the stock, then reduce the heat and cover with the lid. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the shallot.
- Melt a knob of butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat and fry the shallot for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Add the rice and toast the grains for 1 minute, then pour in the water for the rice.
3
- Add the bay leaf and a pinch of salt.
- Boil gently for 10 - 12 minutes, adding more water as necessary if it seems too dry.
- Meanwhile, quarter the lime and finely chop the parsley.
- Dice the chicken, then transfer to the vegetables. Cover with the lid and cook for 5 - 7 minutes, or until the chicken is done.
4
- Add the cream, half of the parsley and the juice of 1 lime wedge per person.
- Bring to a simmer, then allow to thicken and reduce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the rice on plates and top with the blanquette.
- Garnish with the rest of the parsley and serve any remaining lime wedges alongside.
