"Poulet au riz à la milanaise" belongs to the more refined chicken dishes in the poultry and game chapter. Erken lets the chicken simmer tender in stock with root vegetables, while the rice is cooked in stock and stirred with tomato purée and Parmesan – an early Norwegian version of Milanese risotto.
Prepare the chicken
Clean the chicken in the usual way, dry it and truss it. Lay strips of lard over the breast and cover with buttered paper (baking parchment).
Assemble the pot
Clean and cut up the vegetables. Put them in a pot together with the bouquet garni and the peppercorns, pour on meat stock until the roots are barely covered, and add the chicken.
Simmer tender
Put on a tight-fitting lid and let the chicken simmer gently for about 1½ hours. Add more stock if it reduces too much.
Cook the rice
Wash and rinse the rice with boiling water, and cook it in 1 liter of good stock until it is tender and dry.
Season the rice
Stir the tomato purée and grated Parmesan into the rice, and season with salt and pepper.
Plating
Put the chicken in high heat in the oven for a few minutes to get color. Arrange it with the rice, laid as a border around it or formed into small rice mounds.
Measurements have been converted to modern units (dl, l, g). "Flesk" is interpreted as fatty pork/lard, "næpe" as turnip. The rice (200 g), which in the original is only mentioned in the method, has been listed in the ingredient list. Buttered paper can be replaced with baking parchment.
