  4. Deglaze with the juice of half a lemon, add a ladle of broth, salt, pepper, cover and cook for about 8 minutes. Blend and set aside.
  5. Brown the potatoes and artichokes in the risotto pan with a drizzle of oil, a bay leaf and the remaining shallot, chopped.
  6. After a few minutes add the rice and toast it, add the broth and the stem cream. Add salt and cook, stirring constantly and adding more broth when necessary.
  7. In the meantime, prepare the flavored oil by blending a bunch of parsley with five tablespoons of oil and two tablespoons of water.
  8. Let the rice rest for a few minutes before stirring in the coarsely grated pecorino and a drizzle of parsley oil. Serve, garnishing as desired.
