This risotto dish is best suited for the end of summer when the tomatoes and corn are at their best. Using milk in the risotto dish gives it a lovely richness and creaminess.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ cups water
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
¾ cup uncooked Arborio rice
3 tablespoons white wine
1 medium tomato - peeled, seeded and chopped
1 ⅓ cups fresh corn kernels
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
½ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the water and milk in a medium size pot or saucepan, heat the water and milk to a simmer. Keep the pan over low heat.
  • Melt the butter in a large casserole or skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and the rice, stir constantly for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir until completely absorbed.
  • Begin to add the heated milk-water mixture 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is almost completely absorbed before adding the next. When the rice has cooked for 15 minutes and most of the liquid has been incorporated, add the corn kernels and tomatoes along with the end of the milk-water mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender but still slightly chewy.
  • The risotto should take 18 to 20 minutes of cooking all together. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, most of the basil, and the salt and pepper. Spoon the risotto immediately onto plates, top with the remaining basil strands, and serve.

This risotto is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some extra corn and tomatoes, and this was the perfect recipe to use them up.

I made this risotto vegetarian by omitting the chicken broth and using vegetable broth instead. It was still very flavorful and delicious.

I'm gluten-free, so I used brown rice instead of arborio rice. The risotto still turned out great!
