Make creamy mushroom risotto quickly using your Instant Pot. This recipe requires minimal stirring for a rich, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth, warm
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to the Sauté function. Add olive oil. When hot, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Press Cancel.
  3. Add Arborio rice to the pot and stir for 1 minute to toast the grains.
  4. Pour in the white wine (if using) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it cook until the wine evaporates, about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the warm vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Secure the lid and set the vent to Sealing.
  6. Cook on Manual/Pressure Cook (High) for 7 minutes.
  7. When the cooking cycle finishes, allow a Natural Pressure Release (NPR) for 10 minutes, then carefully move the valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure.
  8. Remove the lid. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, butter, and heavy cream until the risotto is creamy. If the risotto seems too thick, add a splash more warm broth or water until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Use warm broth to prevent the cooking time from being extended.
  • Scrape the bottom of the pot well before sealing to avoid a ‘Burn’ notice.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the vegetable broth with mushroom broth.
