I LOVE corn. Seriously, it must be the southerner in me, or being a boy of the plains, but I’ve always loved corn. I’ve only made risotto a few times. It really isn’t that hard to make, though your arm gets tired from stirring. I’ve made porcini and morel risotto a few times, one of the only dishes that I can stomach mushrooms. And I always use at least 3 times the amount of cheese because, come on. But corn risotto? I don’t know why I never considered it, but it is definitely going to be made by me sometime soon!
I saw this recipe on The Kitchn, which I’ve been reading like crazy ever since I got to know Chris and seriously read Linkity (sorry Chris, it was always so long!) But now I know which parts of Linkity to look at first and the recipes was one of them
So, here is the post about Sweet Corn Risotto at The Kitchn, and here is the recipe by Melissa Clark at Food & Wine that is listed in the post.
Also, here’s another recipe (at glutenfreegirl.com) I found that uses corn stock (made from the whole cob) instead of chicken stock.
Has anyone made anything interesting lately???? Share!

LOL! That’s what the handy dandy subject headings are for in linkity! I get really hungry while putting together the Cookity section.
Did you see this recipe?

I looooove risotto and I loooove corn.
Cole
Me too! I swear when I wanted to start a vegetable garden the first thing I wanted to plant was corn, lol. I never did though

OMG, I saw the funniest 12 min. video on the plane today about a guy addicted to corn. It was hilarious. Wish it was on YouTube for you. It was a Canadian independent film I think, but it was really funny. If I can find it I’ll post the link.
I’m not sure I’ve ever had risotto. Hmmm.
Cole
OMG how serendipitous
If you find it let me know!
You should totally get risotto sometime, though it’s super easy to make as well even though it looks hard.

It doesn’t seem to be on-line. I could only find the trailer which is super short, but I suppose for a 12 min. movie hard to have a 5 min. trailer. http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi1199833625/

ROFL!!! That’s hilarious! I love how it shows him passed our with an ear of corn near his head and he’s like “*shamefully* I’m addicted to corn…” I love how it sounds like he says porn until the screen says corn. Awesome, looks hilarious

Looks good Cole. I love risotto and fresh summer corn would give it a seasonal kick. Been making lots of smoothies, but I think I’ll draw the line at a corn smoothie
Cole
Ha, smart idea! I used to drink so many smoothies. I love adding tofu to them, because tofu is just blah to me unless done REALLY well, you know? I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. But you can’t tell it is in a smoothie and its a good way to add nutrients. When I was in school the cafeteria used to make tofu ice cream and to this day it is the best ice cream I’ve ever had!
