RISOTTO WITH TOMATOES AND CORN



Risotto with Tomatoes and Corn image

This colorful risotto serves as a luxurious showcase for summer's bounty of tomatoes and corn. This is about as colorful and summery a risotto as you can get. The tomatoes and broth team up as a rich medium for the rice. Don't add the corn too soon, or it will develop a starchy texture like the rice. But cook it long enough to bring out its sweet flavor. Simmer the corn cobs for about 20 minutes in your broth to get a great sweet corn flavor.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 good-size ears sweet corn
7 cups well-seasoned vegetable stock or chicken stock
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
Salt to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 pound tomatoes, grated or peeled, seeded and diced
Pinch of sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
2 to 3 tablespoons slivered fresh basil, or a mix of basil, chives, and parsley
1/4 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 to 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Remove corn kernels from cobs and set aside the kernels. Simmer the cobs in stock for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from stock and discard. Make sure your stock is well seasoned. Bring back to a simmer over low heat, with a ladle nearby or in the pot.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or a wide, heavy saucepan. Add onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and rice and cook, stirring, until grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle, a minute or two. Stir in tomatoes, sugar and salt to taste and cook, stirring, until tomatoes have cooked down slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add wine and stir until it has evaporated and has been absorbed by the rice. Begin adding simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. Stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock and continue to cook in this fashion, adding more stock and stirring when rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir continually, but stir often and vigorously. After 10 minutes, add corn and continue for another 10 to 15 minutes. When rice is just tender all the way through but still chewy (al dente), in 20 to 25 minutes, it is done. Taste now and adjust seasoning.
  • Add another ladleful of stock to rice. Stir in basil (or basil, parsley and chives) and Parmesan and remove from heat. The mix should be creamy (add more stock if it sn't). Serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.

CORN RISOTTO



Corn Risotto image

This creamy, pale yellow risotto is studded with chewy fresh corn kernels, making for a nice mix of textures. Making your own corn stock deepens the flavor of this dish, but if you don't have the time, chicken stock will work. The dish is also pleasingly light, for risotto - finishing the dish by folding in airy whipped cream adds richness without also adding heft. Add the cream quickly and carefully right before serving. If it sits in the hot risotto it will melt - which wouldn't be the end of the world, of course, since you'll still have a wonderfully creamy risotto.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 cups corn stock (see recipe below) or chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 leek, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups raw corn kernels (from about 2 ears corn)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced chives (optional)
2 corn cobs (kernels removed and reserved for risotto)
1 onion, cut into quarters
1 carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 celery rib, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
Dark green leaves from 1 leek (reserve white and light green parts for risotto)
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Bring the corn stock or chicken stock to a simmer in a saucepan and keep it simmering as you prepare the risotto.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide, high-sided sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add rice and cook, stirring, until grains look slightly translucent.
  • Pour in wine and cook, stirring, until it has all been absorbed, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add a ladleful of hot corn stock to the rice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until rice has absorbed all of the stock. Continue cooking, adding ladlefuls of stock whenever rice mixture looks dry and stirring continuously. When half the stock has been added, stir in corn. Continue cooking until all of the stock is incorporated, corn is tender and rice is creamy and tender, about 30 to 40 minutes total.
  • Remove risotto from heat and stir in Parmesan and remaining tablespoon of butter. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat cream at high speed until it holds stiff peaks. Uncover risotto, stir vigorously and season to taste with salt and pepper. Immediately before serving, stir in the chives, if using, then gently fold in cream.
  • Combine all ingredients with 6 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat so liquid is simmering; cover pot and let simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Add enough water to bring liquid up to 6 cups.

Mix ground chiles with thyme, oregano, coriander, fennel, chipotle chile powder, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl to combine. Scatter lime zest over scallops, then cover them all over with 2 Tbsp. dry rub (reserve extra rub for another use). Chill scallops while you make the creamed corn.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low. Cook green garlic, shallot, and garlic, stirring occasionally, until very tender but without taking on any color, 6-8 minutes. Increase heat to medium and add grated corn; cook, stirring often, until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 Tbsp. water and cook, stirring, until absorbed. Continue to cook, stirring and adding water 2 Tbsp. at a time and letting it absorb completely before adding more, until corn is creamy with a risotto-like consistency, 12-18 minutes. Stir in butter; season creamed corn with salt.
  • Thread scallops onto skewers, dividing evenly, season with salt, and drizzle with a little vegetable oil. Grill until deeply browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side, depending on size. Transfer skewers to a platter and squeeze some lime juice over scallops.
  • To serve, divide creamed corn among plates and top with skewers. Serve with more lime wedges for squeezing over.
  • Do Ahead:
  • Dry rub can be made 1 month ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn is a good option, but avoid canned corn, as it can be mushy.
  • Grill the corn before cutting it off the cob: Grilling the corn before cutting it off the cob helps to caramelize the natural sugars in the corn and gives it a smoky flavor. You can grill the corn over charcoal, gas, or even in a grill pan.
  • Use a sturdy rice: Arborio or Carnaroli rice are good choices for risotto because they hold their shape well and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and stir constantly: Risotto is a labor of love, and it takes time to cook properly. Cook the risotto over medium heat and stir it constantly, so that the rice absorbs the liquid evenly and doesn't stick to the pot.
  • Add the corn and Parmesan cheese at the end: Stir in the grilled corn and Parmesan cheese just before serving, so that the corn retains its鮮豔色彩 and the cheese melts into the risotto.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a summer party or a weeknight meal. With its smoky, sweet, and creamy flavors, grilled corn risotto is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
