Preparation
In a small frying pan, toast the pumpkin seeds over medium heat for approximately 8 minutes or until you can smell them.
Meanwhile, cook the wild rice covered with salted boiling water in a large saucepan for approximately 1 hour or until the rice is tender and the grains begin to open. Drain with a colander and set aside.
In another saucepan, cook the white rice in the chicken stock until the liquid evaporates. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the wild rice and reheat. Add the Blackburn and the grilled pumpkin seeds and mix.
