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.

PRESSURE COOKER JAMBALAYA (WITH PEPPERS & CELERY)
I replaced my electronic pressure cooker so I'm on the hunt for a variety of good recipes for it. I found this one on a few different web sites but don't see it on Zaar. If you are using a regular stove top pressure cooker it should be fairly easy to adjust accordingly.

SLOW-COOKER JAMBALAYA RISOTTO
I love risotto, but I don't always love the time and stirring it takes to get the creamy goodness. I found a slow-cooker risotto recipe and thought it was too good to be true. I decided to adapt a jambalaya recipe for this dish. -Angela Westra, Cambridge, Massachusetts

RISOTTO IN A PRESSURE COOKER
This risotto is reason enough to buy a pressure cooker. Forget all those wive's tales about these things blowing up... they have a new, safer generation. This is a no-stir risotto that could compete with the best! I serve it as is, but you could add a cooked vegetable or bits of meat after the pressure has fallen and the rice is cooked.

Steps:
- Heat the butter and oil in the cooker. Saute the onion until soft but not brown, about 2 minute Stir in the rice, making sure to coat it thoroughly with the fat. Stir in 3-1/2 c of the stock (watch for sputtering oil).
- Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to hig pressure. Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 6 minute Reduce pressure with a quick-release method (see below). Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
- Taste the rice, and if it's not sufficiently cooked, add a bit more stock as you stir. Cook over medium heat until the additional liquid has been absorbed and the rice is desired consistency, another minute or two. When the rice is ready, stir in the Gruyere and Parmesan, add salt to taste and serve immediately.
- NOTES: Adding some sort of fat is critical when cooking rice and grains so that the liquid/starch doesn't foam and plug up the steam vents. I'd also keep a close eye on it toward the end as I imagine that if you use less water the rice might dry out in the last minute or so. Also, Cooking Under Pressure is a nice reference book with a number of modern/gourmet- type recipes such as this one.
- For better taste and texture, it's essential to use an Italian short-grain white rice such as Arborio, Carnaroli, or Maratelli. Traditionally the rice is not rinsed before cooking since the water would wash away starches that contribute to the velvety sauce enveloping each grain. The perfect risotto should be slightly soupy and properly chewy, with the rice offering just a pleasant resistance to the bite. For this reason, the pressure is always quick-released and the risotto must be served as soon as it is finished -- Leftover risotto can also be shaped into pancakes and warmed or pan-fried in a little butter, or heated in the microwave.
- Using the basic formula of 3-1/2 to 4 c of liquid to 1-1/2 c Arborio rice you can create your own recipes and also use traditional recipes.
- Although classic risottos usually contain wine, the above recipe(s) are flavorful without it.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and succulent meats will elevate your jambalaya risotto to the next level.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: It's important to give the ingredients enough space to cook properly. If you overcrowd the pot, the rice won't cook evenly and the dish will be too soupy.
- Toast the rice: This step helps to develop the rice's flavor and prevents it from sticking to the pot.
- Use a flavorful broth: A good-quality chicken, vegetable, or seafood broth will add a lot of flavor to your jambalaya risotto.
- Don't overcook the rice: It's important to stop cooking the rice as soon as it's tender. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Add the vegetables and protein at the right time: The vegetables should be added to the pot first, so that they have a chance to soften. The protein should be added last, so that it doesn't overcook.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also adjust the heat level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
Conclusion:
Jambalaya risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it's also a perfect meal for potlucks and parties. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, jambalaya risotto is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
