Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Spread 50 g pumpkin seeds and 50 g sunflower seeds on a baking sheet.

Stage 2 - 15 min.

Put in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes to toast (dry roast).

Set aside.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Prepare 1 onion and chop finely.

Pour 6 tablespoons olive oil into a large saucepan on high heat. When really hot, add the chopped onion.

Salt and pepper, then cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring, stirring constantly.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Add 400 g rice and mix well.

Stir constantly until the grains become translucent (or "pearl").

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Add 3 tablespoons turmeric and mix well. Stir for a further 2 or 3 minutes while the rice colours.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Pour in 200 ml dry white wine and mix well...

Stage 7 - 5 min.

... and continue stirring until the wine has been completely absorbed.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Then add the chicken stock...

Stage 9 - 20 min.

...and continue stirring until the stock has been completely absorbed.

It is important for your risotto to still be slightly "wet", not fully dried out.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

Next, add the grated 50 g Comté cheese and mix well.

Stage 12 - 2 min.

Finish by adding the toasted seeds...

Stage 13

...and mix in. Your risotto is ready.

Remarks

Keeping:

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
