Corn Risotto with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes |
Author: Ciao Chow Linda
- 1 cup arborio rice
- about 4 cups liquid - chicken broth, vegetable broth or a combination.
- I used two cups chicken broth and two cups of water into which I placed the corn cobs and let simmer for a short while.
- ¼ cup minced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 2 ears of corn, smeared with a little butter
- 1 small bunch of cherry tomatoes on the vine, drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- fresh thyme and chives, minced
- fresh black pepper
- Smear the corn with the butter and place on a grill or a grill pan.
- Sear the corn a couple of minutes until you get some grill marks.
- You can skip this step since the corn will cook in the risotto, but I like the look of the grilled corn as a finishing touch.
- Scrape the corn kernels off the cob, saving some of the large pieces with grill marks to use on top.
- Set the corn kernels aside, but place the cobs in the pot with the broth or water.
- Place the cherry tomatoes on an ovenproof dish and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Roast at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until tomatoes start to split open.
- Remove tomatoes from oven and set aside.
- While the tomatoes are in the oven, make the risotto.
- Melt the butter in a skillet with the olive oil.
- Add the minced onion and saute until softened.
- Add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes.
- Add the wine and stir, then add the broth, a little at a time, stirring constantly.
- When the risotto is about five minutes from being finished, add the corn kernels, setting aside the larger "planks" that you will use to garnish.
- Finish cooking the risotto with the corn addition, adding more liquid if necessary.
- Finally, add the black pepper to taste, the herbs, another tablespoon of butter and the parmesan cheese.
- Serve with the roasted tomatoes on top.
