1. Bone out the chicken legs (if your butcher hasn’t already done so), chop the parsley and thyme leaves
2. To make the stuffing, mix the sausage meat with the pistachio nuts, egg yolk, thyme and parsley. Season well with salt and pepper
3. Open out the chicken legs or things, season with pepper and divide the stuffing between them. Roll up to enclose.
4. Cut 6 very large pieces of roll, drizzle with olive oil and season. Lay about 4 bacon rashers on each piece of foil, slightly overlapping. Put the stuffed chicken portions on top.
5. Wrap each chicken parcel tightly in foil, twisting the ends to seal. Roll back and forth to even out the shape.
6. Poach the chicken parcels, two or three at a time, in a large pan of boiling water for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked.
7. Allow to cool in the foil, refrigerate for 30 minutes (this helps the bacon to “set” around the chicken) and the remove the foil. Pat dry to remove any excess moisture.
8. For the risotto, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan. Stir in the rice and cook for a couple of minutes, until the grains are translucent.
9. Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan and keep it over a low heat.
10. Add the stock a ladleful at a time to the rice and cook, stirring, until almost all the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladleful.
11. Meanwhile shell the broad beans, finely grate the Parmesan, cube the butter and chop the (optional) chives.
12. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Season the chicken parcels and carefully sauté them until the bacon is brown and crisp on all sides. Rest in a warm place.
13. Deglaze the pan with the sherry vinegar, then add the Marsala and stock.
14. Let bubble to reduce by half, then skim off excess fat and check the seasoning.
15. When you have added most of the stock, taste the rice to see if it is al dente, adding a little more stock if it still needs a little more cooking. Add the beans, peas, Parmesan and butter. Cook for a further few minutes until the beans are tender, season to taste. Add the chives (if desired).
16. Thickly slice the chicken on an angle and arrange over the risotto. Pour over the jus and serve immediately.
