Ingredients

  • 2 shallots diced finely
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1.5 cups arborio rice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. On sauté mode, melt your butter in the Instant Pot and once it’s melted, add your shallots. Cook them for around 1-2 minutes, until they’ve soften.
  2. Next add your white wine, give it a stir, then add in the arborio rice. Stir the mixture for another minute, letting some of the wine cook out before adding in the lemon juice. Continue to stir for another minute.
  3. Add in the broth, some salt and pepper, and then put on the Instant Pot lid and switch the setting to manual pressure.
  4. Set the Instant Pot on pressure for 5 minutes and then let the pot natural release for 10 minutes afterwards before quick releasing.
  5. After carefully opening the lid, stir in your peas, lemon zest, and parmesan. Serve with more parmesan if desired.
