Ingredients
arborio rice
4 cups mushroom broth heated
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large shallot finely chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup freshly grated pecorino cheese
sea salt
black pepper
- Alternative Ingredients
Vegetable broth instead of mushroom broth for a lighter flavor.
Parmesan cheese can replace pecorino if preferred.
Directions
- Heating Broth – In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the mushroom broth.
- Sautéing Base – Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté setting and heat the olive oil. Add the chopped shallot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking until fragrant, roughly 1 minute.
- Toasting Rice – Add the arborio rice to the pot, stirring continuously until the grains are well-coated and start to toast, about 2 minutes.
- Deglazing with Wine – Pour in the white wine and stir until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
- Cooking Under Pressure – Add the heated mushroom broth to the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Set the pot to Manual High Pressure for 5 minutes.
- Releasing Pressure and Finishing – Once cooking is complete, carefully perform a quick release of pressure. Open the lid and stir in the grated pecorino cheese. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
