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.

INSTANT POT® RISOTTO



Instant Pot® Risotto image

Risotto in the Instant Pot® has been a life-changer for me! Risotto used to be something that I'd make on special occasions, due to the time it took to make. No more standing at the stove, stirring and adding broth one ladle at a time for 40 minutes! Use that extra time to make something delicious to accompany this simple risotto. Our favorite is pan-seared scallops with a lemon-garlic sauce.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Corn: Fresh corn is essential for this recipe. Frozen or canned corn will not yield the same flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Risotto: Risotto is best when it is cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make the risotto mushy.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth is a key flavor component in risotto. Use a high-quality broth, preferably homemade, for the best results.
  • Add Cheese at the End: Stir in the cheese just before serving. This will prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the risotto.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot Fresh Corn Risotto is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and flavorful risotto. With its creamy texture, sweet corn flavor, and cheesy goodness, this risotto is sure to be a hit with the whole family. Serve it as a main course or a side dish, and enjoy the taste of summer all year round.
