Follow The Directions

01

Step

Engage the 'Sauté' function on your multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Introduce the olive oil, followed by the mushrooms, rice, and shallot. Sauté until the shallot and mushrooms soften and the rice lightly toasts, approximately 5 minutes.

02

Step

Extinguish the 'Sauté' function. Incorporate the mushroom broth and dry white wine, stirring to combine. Secure the lid, ensuring it's properly locked.

03

Step

Select the high-pressure setting, and set the timer for 23 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to fully build within the pot.

04

Step

Initiate a natural pressure release for 12 minutes, as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Subsequently, carefully vent any residual pressure using the quick-release method, which should take about 5 minutes. Once all pressure is released, unlock and remove the lid.

05

Step

Season the risotto generously with salt and pepper, adjusting to your palate. Stir well to distribute the seasoning, and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of nutritional yeast at the end for a cheesy, umami boost.
If you prefer a richer risotto, substitute half of the mushroom broth with a plant-based cream alternative such as cashew cream or coconut cream.
Ensure that your Instant Pot is clean and free of any residual odors before making this dish to preserve the delicate flavors of the mushrooms and rice.

    A fantastic recipe! I used vegetable broth instead of mushroom broth, and it was still incredibly flavorful.

  • Otha Hudson

    So good! I will try adding different types of mushrooms next time.

  • Gabrielle Boyle

    I added a squeeze of lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors. It was a great addition!

  • Ana Runte

    I found that 23 minutes was perfect for my Instant Pot. The rice was cooked through but still had a slight bite.

  • Jaleel Feest

    This is my new go-to risotto recipe. It's so much faster than the traditional stovetop method.

  • Aniyah Gislason

    This was surprisingly easy and delicious! I was skeptical about making risotto in an Instant Pot, but it turned out perfectly creamy.

  • Roma Kris

    The natural pressure release is key for getting the right texture. Don't skip it!
