Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup finely chopped shallots or onions
1 clove garlic, minced
6 ounces mushrooms, chopped and squeezed dry
1 cup Arborio rice
½ cup dry Vermouth or white wine
2 ¾ cups low sodium chicken broth (See Tip 1)
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
⅓ cup heavy cream
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup frozen green peas
1 Tablespoon minced parsley, sliced green onions, or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Select the sauté function on Instant Pot. Add butter. When melted, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until onions begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms; cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice; stir to coat. Cook until opaque, about 1 minute.
Stir in the Vermouth or wine; cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add salt, pepper, thyme, and chicken broth; stir to combine. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and ensure that the vent is closed. Program on high pressure for 6 minutes.
Quick release pressure and carefully remove the lid. The mixture will still be soupy.
Select the sauté function. Stir risotto with a wooden spoon for 2 to 3 minutes or until creamy.
Add cream and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese has melted.
Add green peas; stir to combine.
Garnish with minced parsley, sliced green onions, or chopped chives.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
