Monterey Jack, Corn, and Roasted Red Pepper Risotto
1 3/4 cups water
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans vegetable broth
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup uncooked Arborio or other short-grain rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn
3/4 cup chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
Combine water and broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer (do not boil).
Keep broth mixture warm over low heat.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice, cumin, coriander
(if desired), and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup broth mixture; cook
2 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly.
Add remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until
each portion of liquid is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes
total). Stir in the onions, cheese, hot sauce, corn, and bell peppers; cook
3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
