Corn & Chive Risotto {and Our Family Pizza Party}

July 21, 2014 by Angela LeMoine 9 Comments

cornrisotto

 

Creamy, luscious, oh so good Corn & Chive Risotto! Order a bowl of “fancy” risotto at a restaurant and it’ll cost ya, but make it at home and its actually a very budget friendly dish. This Corn & Chive Risotto came out absolutely perfect and was such a huge hit at our family pizza party this weekend. Shallots sautéed in olive oil, the arborio rice is slowly cooked in white wine and vegetable stock that has been infused with fresh corn and at the very end, lots of fresh chopped chives.

Normally I would have used butter and cream at the end but heres the thing, we had a vegan friend over so I changed it up and ya know what, I didn’t miss the butter or cream at all! The final product was still super creamy and was certainly not lacking any flavor {and i’ll totally take the fewer calories}! I think the broth really did it… fresh Jersey corn, kernels cut off and both the ears and kernels were simmered in the vegetable broth to infused the deliciousness. Then the finishing touch of fresh chopped chives, I love that subtle onion like flavor and the fact that I picked it from our garden is even more fun.

What else did we enjoy along with the corn risotto? Well, lots and lots of amazing grilled pizza! It was the first time {and certainly won’t be the last} time I made homemade pizza dough! A tradition when my grandparents come to visit is to make homemade pizza, and they always make their own crust. Gave Grandma a call to get the recipe, but like every older Italian in my family, of course its not actually written and its done mostly by feel. I was so thankful it ended up great! More on the pizza party later, lets get to that risotto recipe!

Corn & Chive Risotto {and Our Family Pizza Party}

Ingredients

  • 1 lb arborio rice
  • 2 shallots, small dice
  • 1 cup of white wine
  • 2- 32 oz containers organic vegetable broth
  • 5-6 ears of corn, kernels cut off the cob
  • olive oil
  • fresh chopped chives
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Lets start with the corn. Put the vegetable broth in a large pot. add in the kernels and the cobs. Place over a medium low flame, with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Remove the cobs and discard. Using a slotted spoon, remove the kernels and place into a bowl, set aside. Shut the heat.
  3. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add a few Tbsp of olive oil and the shallots. Cook a few minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in the arborio rice and coat with the olive oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the edges of the rice become opaque.
  5. Add the wine, stir frequently until reduced by about half. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Now we will start adding in the broth. You want to do a couple ladles full at a time. Again stir frequently and add more broth after most has been absorbed into the rice.
  7. Continue slowly adding in the broth and continue stirring, allowing the starch in the rice to develop until all the broth is used up. The rice should be perfectly tender at this point {if not you can add a little bit more broth or some water if you don't have}.
  8. With the last ladles full of broth, also stir in the corn to reheat. Once the broth is mostly absorbed, shut the heat and stir in lots of fresh chives. Taste for salt and pepper and season accordingly.

      Oh Leslie, You are definitely missing out. Risotto is so so good! And so versatile too, a side dish or make it into a meal with some protein. Heck dessert Strawberry risotto is fantastic too! And those pizzas, nothing like homemade to make you smile.
