Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Corn and Mushroom Risotto


Corn and Mushroom Risotto Makes 4 servings

 Ingredients
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 can mushrooms (or 8oz fresh chopped)
  • 1 can corn (or 3/4 cup fresh/frozen)
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Directions
  1. In a pot, heat chicken broth and milk. Reduce heat to low and keep hot.
  2. In a large not-stick pot, heat butter and oil on medium high heat. Add onions (and if using fresh mushrooms add them too) and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender and golden.
  3. Add corn and rice and stir to coat with the oil. Add the oregano, garlic powder and pepper. Stir. Add a few ladles of the warm liquid to cover the rice. Stir frequently. When the liquid evaporates, keep adding liquid a ladle at a time until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Use more chicken broth as needed.
  4. When the rice is tender, stir in fresh basil and parmesan.
