Instructions
- Bring the vegetable stock to a boil, add the fresh corn for three minutes (or frozen corn kernels for one minute). Remove the kernels with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Let the stock simmer.
- In a heavy-based saucepan, melt half the butter. Add the onion and saute for two minutes, then add the Arborio rice and stir for two more minutes, until well coated, but not coloured.
- Pour in some wine, stir and simmer until the wine is absorbed. Slowly add some of the vegetable stock and stir until absorbed.
- Slowly add some of the vegetable stock and stir until absorbed. Continue to stir and slowly add more stock as it is absorbed by the rice.
- After 10 minutes, add the kernels and then the chanterelles. Stir and simmer carefully for three more minutes, hen add the remaining butter, the Parmesan and the fresh herbs. Stir for another two minutes and add some more stock only if needed. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately.
- Note: The risotto should be moist and the rice firm to the bite but not chalky. The chanterelles can be substituted by any other fresh, but not strong flavoured, mushrooms.
