FRESH CORN RISOTTO
I've never made this with anything but fresh corn, so wouldn't recommend substituting. But this is my favourite vegetable risotto, and second favourite way to enjoy fresh corn (first being right off the cob).

Steps:
- Reserve 1/2 the quantity of kernels (about 1 and 1/2 cups), and puree the rest in a blender with some of the stock/broth.
- Strain through a sieve and add this strained liquid to the rest of the stock in a saucepan.
- Taste for seasoning (salt).
- Heat to boiling point when ready to prepare risotto (and have the hot water available, just in case).
- In another pot (the one you will use for risotto), saute the onion and garlic in 2 tbs butter, until onion is translucent.
- Add the rice, and coat well, cooking another minute or so.
- Add reserved corn kernels.
- Add the hot broth to the rice/corn mix, one or two ladles at a time, stirring very frequently.
- Add more broth as it is absorbed by the rice.
- Continue this way for about 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked but"al dente", in a creamy base of"sauce".
- *ORsee optional method of cooking, below.
- If rice isn't done after using all the corn stock, continue to cook using hot water, 1/2 cup at a time.
- When rice is done to taste, add the remaining butter, cheese or cream, and taste again for salt and pepper.
- Serve at once.
- *Optional"cheater's"method of cooking risotto: Add 1/2 the hot stock to rice (and hold back the kernels); stir only occasionally.
- When stock is absorbed, add kernels and rest of stock, stirring enough to avoid rice sticking to bottom.
- Continue as above.
- For vegetarians use vegetable stock.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but frozen corn can also be used.
- Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
- Add the corn, parmesan cheese, and butter at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve the corn's flavor and prevent the cheese from becoming grainy.
- Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Fresh corn risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is made with fresh corn, arborio rice, white wine, vegetable stock, parmesan cheese, and butter. The risotto is cooked until it is creamy and al dente, and then the corn, parmesan cheese, and butter are added. The risotto is then seasoned to taste with salt and pepper, and served immediately.
