Risotto With Lentils And Corn Recipes

CORN RISOTTO

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.

CORN RISOTTO WITH HERBED PARMESAN CREAM

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot or wide, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth to the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is creamy and al dente in texture, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by one quarter, about 5 minutes (take care not to let the cream boil over and scald). Stir in the Parmesan until melted. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the chives and parsley.
• When the rice is al dente, add the corn kernels and stir just until cooked and heated through, about 2 minutes. Fold in the Parmesan cream. Serve in bowls and garnish with more chives and parsley.

RISOTTO WITH LENTILS

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse the lentils and rice, being sure to remove any small stones or dirt. Place them in the slow cooker insert along with the water and 1 teaspoon salt.
• In a sauté pan, heat the butter and sauté the onion over medium-high heat until the onion is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Add the onion to the lentils and rice. Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours, or until both the lentils and the rice are tender. Add additional salt,if necessary, and pepper to taste.
• Top each serving with a drizzle of the olive oil and a generous sprinkling of the Parmesan cheese and the parsley.
• Any good, medium-bodied red wine would be nice with this dish. I might try a Barbera or a young, fruity Zinfandel or one of my favorite easy-drinking Italian varietals, Callaway Vineyards' Dolcetto.
