Another risotto recipe:
Champagne Risotto

The idea for this blog comes from The Novice Chef.

Ingredients:

-7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-3 garlic cloves, minced
-2 large shallots, chopped
-3 cups fresh sweet corn
-1 1/2 cups arborio rice
-1 cup white wine
-5 cups vegetable broth

-4 oz parmesan cheese, grated
-4 tablespoons minced parsley
-salt and pepper

Warm the vegetable broth on low heat until you are
ready to use it.

Chop the shallots.

Melt the butter in a large pot.

Add the olive oil, garlic, shallots, wine, and rice.

Once the wine is absorbed, add the corn.
It looks like a lot of corn at first, but as the rice absorbs liquid
the two balance out.

Add the vegetable broth a few spoonfuls at a time,
adding more as the liquid is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, at parsley, cheese, salt and pepper.

This recipe was great, it was easy to make and it had a really great color to it. If you're looking to infuse a little summer into your day, this corn risotto is a great way to do it.
