Taleggio

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 320g of Vialone Nano rice
  • 1 fresh cob (220-250g)
  • 1/2 glass of white wine
  • 1 white onion
  • 150g of taleggio cheese
  • 80g butter
  • broth
  • laurel
  • salt

This is a very strong-smelling cheese. If the aroma throws you off, consider replacing it with a French Brie.

Directions

  1. Boil the cob for 12 minutes in boiling water with a bay leaf.
  2. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
  3. Drain and toss in a pan with 40g of butter and let it simmer over low heat for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once cooked, hold it vertically and pick the grains off with a knife.
  5. Toast the rice with the chopped onion, 20g of butter and a bay leaf.
  6. Sfumare with wine.
  7. Add salt and continue cooking, adding broth when necessary and stirring occasionally.
  8. Halfway through cooking, add half of the corn kernels.
  9. Add salt, finish cooking, let it rest for a few minutes, then stir in the taleggio cheese and the remaining butter.
  10. Serve, accompanying with the remaining corn.
