CORN RISOTTO WITH HERBED PARMESAN CREAM



Corn Risotto with Herbed Parmesan Cream image

Parmesan is a staple ingredient in risotto. In this version, its salty, tangy flavor plays well with sweet corn and fresh herbs. While the rice is cooking, make a quick Parmesan cream sauce to stir in at the end. It speeds up the cooking process and creates the silkiest texture you can imagine!

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 scallions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup arborio rice
3/4 cup dry white wine
3 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped chives, plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
2 cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot or wide, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth to the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is creamy and al dente in texture, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by one quarter, about 5 minutes (take care not to let the cream boil over and scald). Stir in the Parmesan until melted. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the chives and parsley.
  • When the rice is al dente, add the corn kernels and stir just until cooked and heated through, about 2 minutes. Fold in the Parmesan cream. Serve in bowls and garnish with more chives and parsley.

CORN RISOTTO



Corn Risotto image

This creamy, pale yellow risotto is studded with chewy fresh corn kernels, making for a nice mix of textures. Making your own corn stock deepens the flavor of this dish, but if you don't have the time, chicken stock will work. The dish is also pleasingly light, for risotto - finishing the dish by folding in airy whipped cream adds richness without also adding heft. Add the cream quickly and carefully right before serving. If it sits in the hot risotto it will melt - which wouldn't be the end of the world, of course, since you'll still have a wonderfully creamy risotto.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 cups corn stock (see recipe below) or chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 leek, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups raw corn kernels (from about 2 ears corn)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced chives (optional)
2 corn cobs (kernels removed and reserved for risotto)
1 onion, cut into quarters
1 carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 celery rib, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
Dark green leaves from 1 leek (reserve white and light green parts for risotto)
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Bring the corn stock or chicken stock to a simmer in a saucepan and keep it simmering as you prepare the risotto.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide, high-sided sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add rice and cook, stirring, until grains look slightly translucent.
  • Pour in wine and cook, stirring, until it has all been absorbed, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add a ladleful of hot corn stock to the rice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until rice has absorbed all of the stock. Continue cooking, adding ladlefuls of stock whenever rice mixture looks dry and stirring continuously. When half the stock has been added, stir in corn. Continue cooking until all of the stock is incorporated, corn is tender and rice is creamy and tender, about 30 to 40 minutes total.
  • Remove risotto from heat and stir in Parmesan and remaining tablespoon of butter. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat cream at high speed until it holds stiff peaks. Uncover risotto, stir vigorously and season to taste with salt and pepper. Immediately before serving, stir in the chives, if using, then gently fold in cream.
  • Combine all ingredients with 6 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat so liquid is simmering; cover pot and let simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Add enough water to bring liquid up to 6 cups.

CREAMY MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Creamy Mushroom Risotto image

This variation on mushroom risotto includes cream of mushroom soup for the creamy taste, without actually using heavy cream. A light hand is recommended with the thyme and basil. If you like, stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving.

Provided by Kathy

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup dried porcini mushrooms
½ (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
¼ cup boiling water
4 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 ¾ cups Arborio rice
salt and pepper to taste
fresh thyme, chopped
chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place dried mushrooms into a small bowl, and cover with hot water; soak 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and gently squeeze dry with paper towels. Chop mushrooms, and set aside.
  • Scoop cream of mushroom soup into a bowl, and gradually stir in boiling water until mixture is smooth but not runny.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a gentle simmer.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion, garlic, and chopped mushrooms; cook about 3 minutes. Gradually stir in rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat rice with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in thyme and basil to taste.
  • Pour in the mushroom soup mixture, stirring until absorbed. Gradually add 1/3 stock, stirring until liquid is absorbed. Continue to stir in stock gradually, 1 cup at a time, allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding another cup. It should take about 20 minutes for all the stock to be absorbed and the rice becomes al dente (tender but firm to the bite).

Tips for Making Creamy Corn Mushroom Risotto

  • Use Arborio rice: This short-grain rice is specifically designed for risotto because it absorbs a lot of liquid and releases starch, creating a creamy texture.
  • Toast the rice before adding liquid: Toasting the rice helps to bring out its nutty flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, to allow the rice to absorb the liquid evenly.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto frequently helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. This usually takes about 18-20 minutes.
  • Add the corn and mushrooms towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese and butter at the end: This will add a rich, creamy flavor to the risotto.
  • Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and creamy.
