Discover how to whip up a delectable Creamy Mushroom Risotto in your Instant Pot! This recipe simplifies traditional risotto-making, cutting down on stirring time without sacrificing creaminess. Perfect for a cozy dinner, it’s sure to impress with its rich flavors and effortless preparation.

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.
