Instant Pot Risotto

Print Recipe
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 cups arborio rice
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or more chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat broth.
  2. Set Instant Pot to Sauté function and melt butter. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add rice and stir until toasted, 2 minutes.
  3. Deglaze pot with wine. Cook until most of wine is absorbed, then turn Sauté function off.
  4. Add warm broth and place lid on Instant Pot. Set to Manual, High and set time for 5 minutes.
  5. Turn valve to to quick release. Remove lid and stir in Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.

For the final creamy stir: An OXO silicone spatula is handy for stirring the Parmesan into the risotto after pressure cooking. It reaches around the pot to bring the rice and cheese together and helps scoop out the last creamy spoonful when it is time to serve.
