Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups water
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 5 ears), divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, divided
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup) and divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Preparation
Step 1
Step 1
Process 4 1/2 cups water and 1 cup corn in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup; discard solids. Add water, if necessary, to equal 4 1/2 cups. Transfer to a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to low.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Add mushrooms, onion, and remaining 1 cup corn. Cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice, garlic, and 2 teaspoons thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until rice is toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost evaporated.
Step 3
Stir in 2 cups corn broth; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until broth is almost absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup corn broth, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Repeat with 1 cup corn broth. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese, butter, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup corn broth. Divide among 4 bowls; top evenly with pine nuts, remaining 2 teaspoons thyme, and remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
