- Two generous handfuls of nettles

- 4 eggs
- 100g full-fat sour cream
- 400g full-fat fresh cheese
- Various seeds (flax, sesame, sunflower)

Nettle Risotto
- Two generous handfuls of nettles
- One handful of green leek
- Two small spring onions
- 1 garlic clove
- Olive oil
- Two small cups of rice
- About half a liter of meat broth
- A little butter
- Two tablespoons of Parmesan
Sauté finely chopped spring onions and leek in olive oil, and towards the end, add finely chopped garlic. Once the garlic releases its aroma, add the fresh nettles. Season with salt and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and blend with a hand blender. Return to the heat, add rice, and add broth. Add water if needed. Once the rice is cooked, add a cube of butter and Parmesan, mix well, cover, and let it rest for a while.
