Roasted Corn + Poblano Risotto

In case you haven’t noticed, I have been on a writing sabbatical for the past few months due to a crazy busy season at work.  I couldn’t be happier to be back than with a challenge!  Motivated by creativity and deadlines, I bring you this fantastic risotto as part of the Very Vegetarian Recipe Challenge given by Plated and Oxo!

Briami inspired by Cat Cora

Traditional Greek Briami is a dish of oven roasted vegetables with cheese.  Chef Cora took it up a notch by serving it over an herbed orzo.  It was fantastic!  I even put a photo of it on Instagram and promised I’d try to replicate the dish for you, so here’s what I came up with!
