Instructions:
-
For chicken broth, peel 1 onion and stick the cloves on it in a deep pot. Wash the chicken thighs, put them in the pot. Add bay leaf, salt, garlic, dried rosemary and 4-5 black peppercorns and bring to a boil over medium heat.
-
Rinse the rice through a strainer with plenty of cold water.
-
Chop 2 onions into very fine and small cubes and add them to the oil you have heated in a wide rice cooker and fry until they turn pink.
-
Add the rice to the roasted onions and fry together for 3-4 minutes.
-
Chop the artichokes into 1cmx1cm cubes and add to the rice, continue frying for 5 more minutes.
-
When the chickens are thoroughly cooked, pass the ingredients through a fine mesh strainer and return the drained chicken broth to the stove. Continue to simmer on low heat until the risotto is cooked through.
-
At this stage, if you wish, add white wine to the roasted rice and turn it for five minutes and let the alcohol evaporate.
-
Add a ladle of the boiling chicken broth to the rice and mix in the same direction. Add a ladle of chicken broth as it absorbs water and continue adding chicken broth until the rice is soft and creamy.
-
At this stage, finely grate the yellow part of the peel of 1 thoroughly washed lemon and add it to the risotto. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
-
When the rice releases its starch and becomes creamy, add two spoons of butter and finely grated Parmesan cheese (or fresh cheddar) and mix.
-
Check for salt during serving. Serve hot garnished with finely chopped dill, lemon slices and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your meal!
