INSTANT POT® MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Instant Pot® Mushroom Risotto image

Creamy risotto with softened mushrooms and a sprinkling of cheese seems like a dish best ordered at a restaurant instead of made at home. That's because traditionally risotto is made slowly, stirring often, adding 1/4 cup of hot stock at a time, then more stirring. It's a labor-intensive dish that's worth the fuss. However, risotto made in a pressure cooker is so simple and quick that it feels like cheating. It's not. This is the real stuff. You'll probably start making risotto far more often after you try this one.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: To make the most flavorful risotto, use fresh, high-quality mushrooms, arborio rice, and broth. If you can, use homemade broth for the best flavor.
Sauté the mushrooms: Sautéing the mushrooms before adding them to the risotto helps to develop their flavor and aroma. Be sure to cook them until they are browned and slightly caramelized.
Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding it to the broth helps to prevent it from becoming mushy. Be sure to toast the rice until it is golden brown and aromatic.
Use a flavorful broth: The broth is a key component of the risotto, so be sure to use a flavorful broth that will add depth and complexity to the dish. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or mushroom broth.
Cook the risotto slowly and stir frequently: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish that requires patience and attention. Be sure to cook the risotto slowly over medium heat and stir it frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
Add the cheese and butter at the end: Adding the cheese and butter at the end of the cooking process helps to create a creamy and flavorful risotto. Be sure to use a high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
