  1. First, finely chop the shallot and brown it in a pan with the oil. Wash the courgettes well and cut them into slices then add them to the shallot along with the rice.
  2. Toast everything for a couple of minutes then start cooking by covering the rice flush with boiling broth. From now on it will take approximately 16-18 minutes . It is very important to cook the rice by adding broth only to cover it flush and always hot so as not to stop cooking.
