Mushroom Risotto Instant Pot Recipes

INSTANT POT MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Add the mushrooms, garlic, leeks, thyme, 6 tablespoons of the butter, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Set the pot to high saute (see Cook's Note) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have reduced in volume and are beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is opaque but not browning, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the wine has been absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir the rice mixture, scraping the bottom to make sure nothing is stuck. Set the pot to high saute and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, add the Parmesan and remaining 4 tablespoons butter and stir to combine. Serve with additional Parmesan.

INSTANT POT® MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Select the Saute function on an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add butter and olive oil; stir until butter melts, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion; cook for 2 minutes. Add rosemary sprig; cook for 1 minute.
• Stir rice into the pot until each grain is coated with butter-olive oil mixture, about 2 minutes. Pour in wine; simmer for 3 minutes. Pour in chicken stock, stirring to scrape the sides of the pot. Simmer for 1 minute.
• Close and lock the lid. Turn the venting knob to sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Tap venting knob a few times with a wooden spoon or spatula. Stand back; turn knob to point at Vent. Remove lid when pressure is released, about 5 minutes.
• Stir risotto until creamy, about 1 minute. Discard rosemary sprig. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

INSTANT POT MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Sauté the onions and garlic: Once the mushrooms are fully cooked, add the onions and garlic to the Instant Pot and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Check for doneness: Carefully taste a bit of the risotto. You are checking for doneness-you want the rice to have a little bite, but not be raw and crunchy. If it's loose and soupy or if it's crunchy, turn on the "Sauté" setting and cook with the lid off. If loose stir constantly, until more of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. If it's crunchy add the remaining 1/4 cup stock and stir until it's absorbed a bit, about 1 minute. You want the consistency to be " all'onda " ("like waves" in Italian). It's the risottoland happy place between soupy/watery and gloppy/stiff. You want it to be rich and creamy.

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).
• 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.
