- Grated Italian-style Hard Cheese
- Green Leaves
- Lemon
- Lemons

From your kitchen:

- Salt & Pepper
- Water
- Sugar/Sweetener/Honey

- Butter
- Milk (optional)
PREP
Boil the kettle. Place a pot (large enough for the risotto) over a medium heat. Once hot, toast the Pine Nuts for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove on completion. Dilute the stock with 500ml of boiling water.
PREPARE THE STOCK
Return the pot to a high heat with a knob of butter and a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn for 3-5 minutes until charred, shifting occasionally. Place ½ the charred corn and the cream in a blender, and blend until smooth.
COOK THE RISOTTO
Return the pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sweat the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir through the rice and the grated garlic for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the wine and simmer until evaporated. Add a ladle of stock and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering, stirring regularly. Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente.
SALAD DRESSING
Combine the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, ½ tsp of a sweetener of choice, and 10ml of olive oil in a salad bowl. Season to taste. Add the rinsed Green Leaves and the halved Baby Tomatoes and toss until fully coated.
FINISHING TOUCHES
When the risotto is cooked, stir through the Corn purée, ¾ of the grated hard cheese and a knob of butter. Mix until fully combined. If too thick, loosen by mixing in a splash of milk or water. Mix in the Lemon zest and some seasoning. Remove from the heat.
TIME TO ENJOY
Load up a heap of gorgeous creamy sweetcorn risotto. Garnish with the remaining grated hard cheese, the remaining charred Corn and the toasted Pine Nuts. Serve with the crisp salad on the side. Delicious!
