Instructions
- Warm a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat. Melt 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter together. Cook the shallots for 2 minutes until translucent, then add the mushrooms, thyme and bay leaf. Cook 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Pour in 1 cup of the wine and simmer until it evaporates. Keep cooking until the mushrooms are dry, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the mushrooms and set them aside. Discard the bay leaf.
- Lower the heat. Add the remaining butter and oil and melt. Stir in the rice and coat it in the fat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the grains look shiny. Pour in the remaining 1 cup of wine and let it evaporate.
- Add the chicken stock one ladle at a time, letting the rice absorb each addition before adding more. Stir over gentle heat. Continue until most of the stock is used and the rice is al dente, about 25 minutes.
- Fold the mushrooms back into the rice. Season with salt, pepper and the parsley, then stir in the Parmesan. Top with shaved white truffle if using, and serve right away.
- For the chicken stock: Put the chicken, rutabaga, carrots, celery, onions, turnip, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns and giblets in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cover by about 1 inch with cold water (about 3 quarts). Bring slowly to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, until the chicken is cooked. Skim off impurities and add water if needed to keep the chicken co
- Move the chicken to a board. When cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones and shred the meat into a container for another use.
- Strain the stock through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into another pot. Use right away, or chill it in an ice-water bath, then refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 6 months.
