Instructions

Prep and cook the pancetta
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Halve, peel, and dice the onion. Mince or grate the garlic. Halve the tomatoes. Drain the corn. Heat a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta along with a large drizzle of olive oil (if needed). Cook, tossing, for 3-4 minutes, until browned and crispy. Add a large drizzle of olive oil (if needed). Add the onion and garlic. Cook, tossing, for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and pepper.

2

Start the risotto: Add the rice to the pan and stir to combine, 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add 2 cups water, the stock concentrates, and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and stir continually until water is almost absorbed.

3

Bake the risotto: Add 1 ½ cups water to the rice and bring to a boil. Once boiling, transfer to a baking dish (ours is 9 x 13) and stir in the corn and tomatoes. Cover with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, until water is absorbed and rice is cooked through.

4

Prepare the final touches: While the risotto bakes, zest and cut the lemon into wedges. While it cooks, this is the perfect time to start cleaning or setting the table.

Finish the risotto
5

When the rice is done, remove the dish from the oven. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, 2 Tablespoons butter, and the lemon zest. Taste and season with salt and pepper, stirring until the cheese melts.

6

Finish and plate: Serve the oven-baked corn and tomato risotto with a wedge of lemon for squeezing and enjoy!
