Instant Pot Parmesan Risotto
Description
Instant Pot Parmesan Risotto uses medium-grain rice sautéed with shallots and garlic in butter, then cooked pressure-sealed with vermouth and chicken broth. Parmesan cheese is stirred in before and after cooking, infusing the dish with its distinctive nutty, savory flavor. The vermouth contributes a light acidity and complexity that complements the cheese and rice.
As cooked under pressure, this risotto maintains a creamy consistency with rice grains tender but intact. The included salt balances flavors, and the layering of ingredients before pressure cooking helps meld tastes deeply. The final risotto is suited as a side dish or a modest main when paired with vegetables or protein.
The recipe allows natural or quick pressure release with little impact on texture. Using fresh Parmesan and adjusted liquid amounts can affect final creaminess. Overall, this recipe offers a practical way to enjoy a classic risotto with fewer hands-on minutes yet pleasing results.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shallots or white onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/3 cups medium-grain rice or arborio rice
- 1 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine, divided
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese divided, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the Instant Pot on saute, add butter, when the butter has melted add shallots. Saute the shallots until they have become translucent. Add garlic and saute until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add rice, stir until the rice is coated with the melted butter. Cook rice for about 1 minute. Add half of the vermouth. Stir the vermouth in, it will be absorbed into the rice. When the vermouth has been absorbed add the remaining Vermouth and chicken broth. Add 1 ounce of Parmesan cheese and salt, stir in the cheese and salt into the liquid. Place the lid on the pressure cooker.
- Cook for 8 minutes on high, you can set this manually. After the rice has finished cooking you can either allow it to release naturally, or you can manually release the pressure. Before serving add the remaining cheese.
