Forbidden Rice Risotto - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
420 g forbidden rice (Chinese black rice)
4 tablespoons dry sherry
1 1/4 liters hot chicken stock (must be hot at least in the beginning to absorb well)
50 g parmesan cheese, fresh grated
salt
ground black pepper

Preparation

Melt one tablespoon of butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the shallot and gently fry for 3-4 minutes until clear.
Stir in the rice and cook for another minute.
Add the sherry and deglaze the pan, stirring constantly, about a minute.
When the sherry has reduced, add the hot chicken stock only enough to just cover the rice. Keep stirring, adding more stock like before when most of the liquid is gone.
Continue to stir and add stock until the rice is tender but still with some bite. This took me about 35 minutes.
Add the remaining butter and the parmesan, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
