INSTANT POT® MUSHROOM RISOTTO
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.

INSTANT POT® RISOTTO
Risotto in the Instant Pot® has been a life-changer for me! Risotto used to be something that I'd make on special occasions, due to the time it took to make. No more standing at the stove, stirring and adding broth one ladle at a time for 40 minutes! Use that extra time to make something delicious to accompany this simple risotto. Our favorite is pan-seared scallops with a lemon-garlic sauce.

INSTANT POT® RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE
This recipe dates back to the 1500s and originates in Milan. Typically there are very few ingredients in this dish, resulting in a risotto that is deep yellow with a delicate flavor. I've changed the ingredients to suit modern cooks; originally beef marrow was used, something that is difficult to find. This recipe makes six, very large servings. It does not reheat well.

Steps:
- 1. Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE add the olive oil and the sausage breaking sausage apart as it browns.
- 2. Add the peppers and onion and cook stirring occasionally until onion is opaque. Add the garlic, cook another minute.
- 3. Add the rice and the wine to the sausage mixture and cook for a couple minutes, stirring often until the wine is absorbed.
- 4. Now, add the chicken broth, and Italian seasoning, stir to mix. Turn SAUTE off. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot. Push MANUEL and set the pressure time for 6 minutes.
- 5. 5. Let the cooker go into KEEP WARM mode and count 10 minutes. Then press CANCEL and twist the steam release handle on the lid to VENTING position. Note: If the liquid has not been fully absorbed, press SAUTE and stir until liquid is absorbed.
- 6. To this, stir in tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stir until well incorporated and tomato sauce is absorbed. Turn Instant Pot off and enjoy a delicious Sausage and Rice Risotto.
- 7. Serve this with a side salad and some garlic bread and enjoy a delicious meal.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the rice. Arborio or Carnaroli rice are the best choices for risotto.
- Toast the rice in a little butter or oil before adding the liquid. This helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid in small increments, stirring constantly. This allows the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevents it from becoming too soupy.
