Corn Risotto

Ingredients

  • 2 ears corn
  • olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 5 strips turkey bacon
  • 3/4 cups Arborio rice
  • 3 cups chicken stock (or veg stock, if you must)
  • additional water, as needed
  • salt
  • pepper
  • parsley
Using a sharp knife, slice the kernels of corn off of the cob. You should have about 1 cup of corn.
Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and saute until soft and fragrant (about 8 minutes). Add the bacon and saute for another 5 minutes. Add the rice, and stir with wooden spoon to mix with the onions. Start adding the stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, adding more when the rice has absorbed the stock. Do this for like, 15 minutes, until the rice starts to get tender. Add the corn and stir. Add enough stock such that the rice is tender but not mushy.
Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper. Eat.

Thoughts: This was pretty easy to make and it was super delicious. The corn and bacon make the texture sort of chewy, which is pretty delightful. This is super tasty. That's all I have to say.
