Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

4.7
(326)

This creamy Instant Pot risotto with softened mushrooms and a sprinkling of cheese will seem like a dish ordered at a restaurant instead of made at home. Traditionally risotto is made slowly, stirring often, adding a bit of hot stock at a time, then more stirring. It's a labor-intensive process that's worth the fuss for the finished product. 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.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock if preferred.

The Instant Pot will take about 15 minutes to come to full pressure, then the timer will begin counting down, so you can walk away and come back when it beeps.

The magazine version of this recipe uses 1 quart low-sodium vegetable broth and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
