Fresh Corn Risotto

Course: Side Dish
Keyword: corn, risotto
Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion very finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups arborio rice 12 ounces
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup white corn kernels from 2 ears
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Keep the stock warm over very low heat.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring until opaque, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the white wine and cook, stirring, until completely absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the warm stock and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until nearly absorbed. Continue adding the stock 1 cup at a time and stirring until it is absorbed between additions.
  • After about half of the stock has been added, stir in the corn, then add the remaining stock.
  • The rice is done when it's al dente and creamy, about 25 minutes total. Stir in the cheese and butter; season with salt and pepper. Serve.
