Method

1. Make the chicken broth: put the chicken legs and aromatic vegetables in a pot. Cover with water and cook for 1 hour. (If you're using a pressure cooker, cut the cooking time in half). When the broth is ready, strain it and debone the chicken legs. Finely chop the meat.
2. Cut the pomegranate in half and remove the seeds. Set aside a tablespoon of seeds for garnish. Purée the rest and strain the juice.
3. Stir the robiola to soften with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Fry the garlic cloves lightly in oil, them remove them. Add the rice and toast it. Pour in the pomegranate juice.
5. When the pomegranate juice has evaporated, start adding in the chicken broth.
6. When the rice is almost cooked, add the chicken and cook until done (continuing to add chicken broth as needed).
7. Remove from the heat, stir in the creamy robiola and the parmesan.
8. Serve garnished with a few pomegranate seeds and a sprinkle of grated parmesan.
