CORN RISOTTO WITH HERBED PARMESAN CREAM

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.
