- 2 tablespoons of parmesan
- 25 g butter
- 1 vegetable stock cube

Instructions
- Prepare the vegetable broth with 1 cube of vegetable broth and 50 cl of boiling water.
- In a large cooking pan, brown the minced shallot in 1/3 of the butter for 1 minute.
- Add the leek cut into half rings and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
- Add the risotto rice.
- When the rice is translucent, add half the vegetable broth and mix.
- Let the grains soak slowly and stir regularly until the broth is completely absorbed.

- While the risotto is cooking, wash the Jerusalem artichokes and cut them into thin slices.
- Sauté the Jerusalem artichoke crisps in 1/3 of the butter with a little Espelette pepper until they are golden and crisp, for 10 to 12 minutes, turning them occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper. Reserve the Jerusalem artichokes in absorbent paper.
- When the risotto is cooked, add the grated lemon zest and the juice of ½ lemon.
- Add the Parmesan and mix well. Salt and pepper.
- Fry the scallops in the remaining butter, 1 minute to 1 and a half minutes on each side. Salt and pepper.
- Serve the risotto with Jerusalem artichoke crisps and scallops, sprinkle with parsley and add a little lemon juice for a tangy touch!
Tips
Jerusalem artichoke, also called Canadian truffle, is a root vegetable with a taste similar to artichoke. It is found from October to February making it a star food for winter! Rich in vitamin B, it contributes to the maintenance of the immune and nervous system; it also contains a lot of fiber promoting intestinal transit. Be careful, however, if you have fragile intestines: Jerusalem artichoke should be consumed in moderation!
