Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup ripe tomatoes, seeded, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 cups chicken stock
2 cups corn cut from 4 or 5 large ears
2 tablespoons butter, preferably unsalted
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions, white part only
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice or American medium-grain rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, basil, lime juice and salt. Bring stock to simmer. Puree 1 cup of corn in food processor. Heat butter in large saucepan or skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then add scallions, stirring until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice, and stir to coat it with butter before adding wine. Cook, stirring until absorbed.
  • Add 1 cup of chicken stock, and cook, stirring over medium-low heat until stock is absorbed. Add remaining stock, 1/2 cup at a time, reserving at least 1/2 cup for Step 3. Cook and stir until liquid is almost completely absorbed before adding more. Continue until rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in pureed corn with another 1/2 cup of stock. Continue to cook, stirring and adding stock as needed until rice is al dente, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in corn kernels and fresh tomato mixture. Season with salt and pepper, spoon into warmed soup bowls, and sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some other herbs or spices. The corn, basil, tomato, and lime were all good, but they didn't really come together as a cohesive dish.

This risotto was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think it would be better with less butter and cream. The corn, basil, tomato, and lime were all good, but they were overpowered by the richness of the risotto.
