Is corn still in season? You’ll never need to ask that question thanks to the canned corn in your pantry. Like the home canning process, canning seals in corn’s natural goodness and nutrition so it’s there for you whenever you’re ready to get cooking.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans vegetable broth
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8.75-ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 (6.5-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION

In small saucepan over high heat, heat vegetable broth, white wine and turmeric to boiling. Reduce heat to low; keep simmering.

In 12-inch skillet over medium heat, in hot oil,, cook onion and garlic 5 minutes or until softened. Add Arborio rice; cook 2 minutes. Gradually add simmering liquid, ½ cup at a time until absorbed. Repeat with remaining rice and liquid, stirring frequently, until rice is al dente, about 25 minutes. Stir in corn, mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.

Grease five 5-ounce custard cups. Spoon and press mixture into cups. Carefully invert timbales onto platter or serving dish.

Serve timbales with broiled chicken or fish and canned French-cut green beans.
