Dice the tuna and season with salt, oil, and pepper. Set aside.

Remove the seeds from the pomegranate, extract the juice, and place it in a saucepan with the sugar. Add the cornstarch dissolved in a little water and let it thicken.

Wilt the onion in a drizzle of oil, toast the rice, deglaze with the white wine and let it evaporate.

Gradually add the hot vegetable stock and 5 minutes before cooking add the saffron dissolved in a little stock.

Mix well and cook.

Off the heat, stir in the butter and parmesan.

Serve garnished with the pomegranate sauce, tuna, and toasted almonds.
