Rice and mushrooms cooked in the Instant Pot with broth and herbs until creamy and tender. Stir in some parmesan cheese for an effortlessly elegant meal.
Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto
I have to admit, Instant Pot risotto is one of my favorite uses for the Instant Pot (along with melt in your mouth ribs). A traditional mushroom risotto recipe needs tending to and lots of stirring while instant pot risotto is a set-it-and-forget-it kinda dish! The results are a deliciously creamy and cheesy main course done within minutes and all with zero fuss! No need to eat out when you can stay in and eat in style!
Ingredients
RICE This recipe uses arborio rice which is a short-grain rice. As it cooks, it releases starch creating a creamy consistency. Regular white rice will not produce the same results. CHICKEN BROTH Purchase it in a carton or make your own homemade chicken stock. GARLIC and WINE These add flavor! If no wine is on hand, just sub extra chicken broth (but I highly recommend keeping an inexpensive bottle in the fridge for recipes, it adds great depth of flavor with little effort). PARMESAN CHEESE is what it’s all about with risotto. Try subbing out Romano if desired. VEGGIES Add peas, spinach, chopped asparagus, or diced red bell peppers to the Instant Pot. Fancy It Up: If you like truffle, it is an easy way to upscale dishes like risotto or even mashed or roasted potatoes. While it can seem a bit spendy, you can get bottles of truffle oil for as little as $12. A tiny bit goes a long way and it can literally flavor countless dishes.

Leftovers
Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto will last in the fridge about 4 days kept in an airtight container. Refresh it by giving it a stir and you may need to add some extra broth (or cream). Pop it in the microwave or heat on the stovetop until warmed.
