Steps:
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs (see notes). In a heavy-bottomed high-sided skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the corn kernels and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and transfer 1/3 of the cooked corn to the jar of a blender. Reserve the remaining corn in a bowl.
- Pour the heavy cream in the blender with the corn. Blend until smooth. Reserve.
- In a medium sauce pan, heat the broth over medium high heat, until simmering. Lower the heat to the lowest setting to keep the broth warm while you cook the risotto.
- Place the skillet back on the stove, over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced shallots and sauté until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the arborio rice and stir to coat in the fat. Cook for about a minute, or until the rice is toasty and releasing a nutty aroma but not browned. Season with a pinch of salt and white pepper. Pour in the white wine and cook until fully absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Add a ladleful of broth to the rice, stirring occasionally so the rice doesn't stick to the pan, but not too often or it will cool and not cook evenly. Once the liquid is absorbed, add the next ladleful, repeating this process until the rice is cooked through but al dente, about 17-20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the remaining butter and parmesan cheese, stirring vigorously to melt the butter and emulsify it into the risotto.
- Gently stir in the reserved creamed corn and corn kernels. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm!

Steps:
- Simmer chicken stock on low to warm up in a small pot on the stovetop.
- In a large pot or dutch oven, sauté the onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper in the olive oil over medium-high heat until browned and softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the rice, salt and pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to coat.
- Add 1/2 cup of the stock, stir, and allow all of the liquid to be absorbed.
- Once the liquid is absorbed, add 1/2 cup more of the stock. Keep repeating this process until the rice is almost cooked through (You'll need to taste-test this a lot. Tough life, I know).
- When the rice is almost cooked, add the sweet corn kernels and continue as you were with adding the stock gradually.
- When the rice is completely cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the cilantro and cheese until completely melted.
- Serve with extra cilantro and cheese, if desired.

BROWN RICE AND VEGETABLE RISOTTO
While the nature of brown rice means that this dish will take longer to cook than standard risotto, it is well worth the wait. Feel free to adapt the recipe according to whatever seasonal produce is available to you.

CORN RISOTTO
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.

Steps:
- Bring the corn stock or chicken stock to a simmer in a saucepan and keep it simmering as you prepare the risotto.

- 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.

SWEET CORN RISOTTO
This recipe is best using sweet corn picked fresh from the garden or from your local farmer's market. In the winter months you can make this dish with canned corn and it is still very good. Adapted from The New Vegetarian Epicure.

Steps:
- (NOTE: If using canned corn, skip this step.) Husk and wash corn and peel away all the silk, then slice the kernels off the cobs with a sharp knife. You should have about 2 1/2 cups corn kernels.
- Spin about a cup of the kernels in a food processor or blender until they are roughly chopped and milky. Scrape out the chopped corn and remix with the remaining whole kernels.
- In a large soup pot, saute the onion in the olive oil and butter with a pinch of salt until it is translucent and tender.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan heat the vegetable broth and regulate the flame to keep it just below a simmer.
- When onions are soft, add the Arborio rice to the soup pot and stir it gently with a wooden spoon for two minutes. Next add the wine and stir until it is absorbed.
- Add a soup ladle of the heated broth and all the corn kernels to the rice and stir, keep it just at a simmer. Keep stirring until the broth is nearly all absorbed into the rice, then add another ladle.
- Continue with this process for 25 more minutes (TIP: Set timer now)-- adding a little broth at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon fairly frequently, for around 25 minutes or until the rice is al dente. It should form a creamy sauce around grains that are no longer crunchy but still firm.
- When the rice is just achieving this perfect balance of tender-firmness, stir in the last ladle of broth, the Parmesan cheese, and 2 Tbsp of chopped parsley.
- It is ready to serve!

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Look for sweet corn that is fresh and plump, and use a good-quality vegetable broth.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid gradually: Slowly adding the liquid to the rice allows the rice to absorb it evenly and prevents the risotto from becoming too soupy.
- Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and also helps to create a creamy texture.
- Cook the risotto al dente: The risotto should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked risotto will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Let the risotto rest before serving: Letting the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.

Sweet corn brown rice risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a side dish.
