Ingredients
- 500g beef chuck
- 400g arborio rice
- 1 tbsp sliced shallots
- 1 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- a generous handful of pearl onions
- a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- a drizzle of cognac
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 tsp cracked black peppercorns
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the egg noodles base and set it aside to rest while you get the filling ready.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, pearl onions, minced garlic, and bay leaves, mixing well so everything is evenly seasoned.
- 3
Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet, wok, or on a griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Cook the egg noodles until lightly golden on each side, then transfer to a warm plate.
- 5
Fry, grill, or steam the chicken thighs mixture until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 0 mins.
- 6
Assemble by layering the egg noodles with the filling, a spoonful of Dijon mustard, and a scattering of tarragon.
- 7
Add a final touch of Gruyère cheese for extra flavor and texture.
Tips
•Serve immediately for the best contrast between a crisp exterior and a warm, tender filling.
•Keep the extra-virgin olive oil hot but not smoking — a thermometer helps you nail the perfect frying or grilling temperature.
