Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups water
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup uncooked arborio rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup thinly sliced green onion
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (optionally with jalapeno peppers)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn, defrosted
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2/3 cup chopped roasted red pepper

Steps:

  • Combine water, broth, and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer (do not boil). Keep broth mixture warm over low heat.
