Making risotto in an electric pressure cooker means no stirring, and no ladling of stock one cup at a time. Just set the time, walk away, and make a drink.

Recipe information

Total Time
45 minutes
Yield
Makes about 5 1/2 cups

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 lb. wild mushrooms, trimmed, sliced

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cups carnaroli or arborio rice

1/2 cup white wine

4 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken stock

Chopped parsley and finely grated Parmesan (for serving)

Special Equipment

An electric pressure cooker or Instant Pot

Preparation

Step 1
Set Instant Pot on medium heat or "Sauté" and pour oil into cooker insert. Add mushrooms and cook until any moisture they've released is evaporated and they start to brown, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add onion, stir to combine, and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add rice and stir until chalky white, about 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in stock. Lock on lid, making sure steam-release valve is in the proper sealed position. Select “Manual” and program for 5 minutes at high pressure (it will take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build before cooking automatically begins).
Step 2
As soon as the time has elapsed, turn off cooker, “Quick Release” the steam, and unlock lid. Stir with a wooden spoon; season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Divide risotto among bowls. Top with parsley and Parmesan and serve.
