What a disappointment. I ate a lot of corn, cut the kernels off and saved the cobs for a tasty corn stock with which to cook up an even tastier corn risotto but what I ended up with was a bland risotto that needed more to get any flavor out of it. More cheese, more olive oil, more salt.
I adapted from this recipe using my own (boring, bland) corn stock in place of chicken stock. I also halved the onion, leading to more blandness? My intent was to halve the recipe but when I realized how much onion the recipe included I decided to use the full amount for everything else but stick with my already sauteed onion.
I attempted to eat all of it, but the flavor was just too boring and bland and in no way justified the amounts of oil, cheese and salt I had included to make up for the lack in corn flavor. A bust, maybe I'll try again next summer.
