This American take on risotto was created by the original owner-chef of Pasadena's Twin Palms; this particular recipe is adapted from Betty Fussell's Crazy for Corn.

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°. Saute corn, scallions or shallots, and 4 tbsp. of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add ½ cup of the stock, turn up heat to medium-high, and reduce liquid quickly until mixture thickens. Add cream and stir occasionally, reducing liquid again until thick, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
Step 2
Pulse mixture once or twice in a food processor to release flavors. The kernels should be broken, but not pureed smooth. Put mixture in an ovenproof serving bowl, cover, and keep warm in oven.
Step 3
Saute mushrooms with remaining 4 tbsp. butter in a medium skillet over high heat. Add peas and remaining ½ cup stock, and reduce the liquid for 3-5 minutes until it thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fold mushroom mixture into corn and serve immediately.
