Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Corn Risotto
  1. Begin by cutting the kernels off the corn cobs and then chopping the cobs in half. Dice the sweet onion finely. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. In a medium pot, combine the chopped corn cobs with vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until glossy.
  4. Add 1 cup of Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.
  5. Stir in the sweet corn kernels and cook for an additional minute, mixing well.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine and stir vigorously to combine; allow to cook down for about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Begin adding the simmering broth to the rice mixture, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes.
  8. Once the rice is al dente, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese until combined.
