Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 c medium grain white rice
29 oz chicken broth
10 oz frozen corn
1/4 c whipping cream
1 c monterey jack cheese with jalapeno, shredded
fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cumin; saute 1 minute.
  • 2. Mix in rice. Add broth and frozen corn and bring to boil, stirring frequently.
  • 3. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until rice is tender and mixture is slightly thick and creamy, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. Add cream and cheese and stir until mixture is heated through.
  • 5. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of corn: Fresh corn is best for this recipe. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the corn: The corn should be cooked until it's tender, but still has a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the risotto. Use a broth that you like the taste of.
  • Stir the risotto frequently: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Add the cheese gradually: Stir in the cheese a little bit at a time, until the risotto is creamy and smooth.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served fresh out of the pan. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently over low heat.

This quick Mexican corn risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, flavorful, and packed with fresh corn. Serve it as a main course or a side dish, and your family and friends will love it!
