Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large non-stick pot, melt 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add fresh sweet corn to the pot, then stir in Arborio rice. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the rice grains become slightly translucent.
  3. Pour in Sauvignon Blanc wine, stirring continuously until the rice absorbs all the liquid, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually add chicken stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow each addition to absorb fully before adding the next. This should take around 18-20 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in remaining unsalted butter, grated Romano cheese, and minced parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
