Equipment
- 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.
