Sweet Corn Black Trumpet And Truffle Risotto Recipes

RISOTTO WITH BLACK TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Gently clean the truffle with a soft brush, then a day or two beforehand put it in a bowl with the dry rice and cover tightly for the rice to take on the perfume.
• Carefully sweat the finely chopped onion in oil and butter for 5 minutes until transparent.
• Stir in the rice and stir until the grains are glistening.
• Now add the glass of Noilly Prat (or Vermouth) and stir until the rice has absorbed the liquid.
• Now add a generous ladle of hot stock, and stir with a wooden spoon until it too has been absorbed.
• Add a second ladle and stir again gently until absorbed.
• Repeat until the stock has been used and the rice is creamy but not dry (about 20 minutes).
• Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper. Pile into individual deep plates and top with Parmesan and truffle slivers.

SWEET CORN, BLACK TRUMPET AND TRUFFLE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Over medium heat, in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Heat the oil for 1 minute. Add the onions, corn, salt, white pepper, and black pepper. Saute for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the risotto. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir the stock into the risotto. Bring the liquid up to a simmer, about 6 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic. Simmer the risotto for 18 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the remaining butter, cream, grated cheese and truffle oil. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and serve. Garnish with shaved truffles.

SMOKED DUCK, SWEET CORN, AND MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. In a large saute pan, heat the duck fat. When the fat has melted, add the onions and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Using a sharp knife, remove the corn from the cob. Add the corn to the sauteed onions and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Add the duck and garlic. Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and bring the liquid to a simmer. Simmer the sauce, over medium heat, until the cream coats the back of a spoon, about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the boiling water until cooked al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain the pasta and turn into a mixing bowl. Toss the pasta with the cream mixture. Add the cheese, truffle oil and chives. Toss until all the ingredients are incorporated. Season the pasta with salt and pepper. Mound the pasta in the center of each plate, garnish with fresh truffle shavings, if desired, and serve.

SWEET CORN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs (see notes). In a heavy-bottomed high-sided skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the corn kernels and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and transfer 1/3 of the cooked corn to the jar of a blender. Reserve the remaining corn in a bowl.
• Pour the heavy cream in the blender with the corn. Blend until smooth. Reserve.
• In a medium sauce pan, heat the broth over medium high heat, until simmering. Lower the heat to the lowest setting to keep the broth warm while you cook the risotto.
• Place the skillet back on the stove, over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced shallots and sauté until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add the arborio rice and stir to coat in the fat. Cook for about a minute, or until the rice is toasty and releasing a nutty aroma but not browned. Season with a pinch of salt and white pepper. Pour in the white wine and cook until fully absorbed, about 1 minute.
• Add a ladleful of broth to the rice, stirring occasionally so the rice doesn't stick to the pan, but not too often or it will cool and not cook evenly. Once the liquid is absorbed, add the next ladleful, repeating this process until the rice is cooked through but al dente, about 17-20 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Add the remaining butter and parmesan cheese, stirring vigorously to melt the butter and emulsify it into the risotto.
• Gently stir in the reserved creamed corn and corn kernels. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm!
