Chef Eric Lees

Ingredients

1 cup aborio rice

¼ cup white wine

4 cups of parmesan stock (hot)

3 Tbsp cubed butter

1 oz Robiola tre latte cheese

1 Tbsp olive oil

¼ cup toasted chia, white and black sesame and sunflower seeds

1 tsp chopped garlic

1 tsp chopped shallot

1 tsp lemon juice

A dash of aged balsamic vinegar

Directions

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, add your olive oil, shallot and garlic. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5 min, do not brown the shallot and garlic, just a light sweat.
  • Add the rice and cook until you smell a nice popcorn aroma from toasting the rice while stirring for about 2 min.
  • Add the wine, increase the heat to medium and stir constantly. When the wine has been evaporated, add a ladle of hot parmesan stock.
  • Once the stock is absorbed add a little more, repeat the process, stirring constantly, until the rice is almost cooked through leaving the rice al-dente, which means a little bit to it.
  • Add the cheese, chopped parsley, a touch of salt, fresh lemon juice, remaining of the butter. Cook over medium heat until cheese and butter are melted.
  • Serve in a bowl and garnish with toasted seeds and aged balsamic.
