Ingredients

  • 2 slices bacon

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 ¼ cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste

  • 2 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off

  • ½ cup arborio rice

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ¼ cup white wine

  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, or to taste (Optional)

  • 1 pinch granulated garlic

  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add bacon to the hot pot and cook until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove bacon to a rack to drain. Add shallot and garlic to the pot and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Mix in 1 cup chicken stock. Stir in corn kernels, rice, and butter. Pour in remaining 1/4 cup chicken stock and white wine. Cancel Saute function.

  2. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. While risotto is cooking, chop bacon.

  4. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Add chopped bacon, Parmesan cheese, oregano, granulated garlic, and salt and stir until thoroughly combined. Add more chicken stock, 1 tablespoon at a time, if risotto is too dry.
