Southwestern Risotto With Corn and Roasted Red Pepper image

A wonderful side dish for anything grilled - chicken, steaks, sausages or fish. Or, to make this the main course, you can add grilled chicken directly to the dish.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups water
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup uncooked arborio rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup thinly sliced green onion
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (optionally with jalapeno peppers)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn, defrosted
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2/3 cup chopped roasted red pepper
additional salt and pepper, if desired

Steps:

  • Combine water, broth, and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer (do not boil). Keep broth mixture warm over low heat.

Stir in 1/2 cup broth mixture; cook 2 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of liquid is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total).

This dish is a bit on the spicy side, so if you don't like spicy food, you may want to reduce the amount of chili powder.

I found that the risotto took a bit longer to cook than the recipe stated, but it was worth the wait.
