Categories     Risotto

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup brown rice
3-4 cups chicken stock/broth (or vegetable broth)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
1 small or 1/2 large red bell pepper (diced)
1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and diced (leave seeds in for extra spicy risotto))
kosher salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on how spicy you want it)
2 ears fresh sweet corn (kernels removed (or 2 cups frozen corn))
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, plus more for garnish)
1 cup cotija cheese (crumbled, plus more for garnish)

Steps:

  • Simmer chicken stock on low to warm up in a small pot on the stovetop.
  • In a large pot or dutch oven, sauté the onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper in the olive oil over medium-high heat until browned and softened (about 5 minutes).
  • Add the rice, salt and pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to coat.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the stock, stir, and allow all of the liquid to be absorbed.
  • Once the liquid is absorbed, add 1/2 cup more of the stock. Keep repeating this process until the rice is almost cooked through (You'll need to taste-test this a lot. Tough life, I know).
  • When the rice is almost cooked, add the sweet corn kernels and continue as you were with adding the stock gradually.
  • When the rice is completely cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the cilantro and cheese until completely melted.
  • Serve with extra cilantro and cheese, if desired.
