Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ onion finely chopped
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- cooked and crumbled bacon and peas, for topping, optional
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute and add the butter and onions.
- Cook and stir until onions are translucent.
- Add the rice, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the edges of the rice are just translucent.
- Add the chicken broth to pot and scrape the bottom well to remove any bits that may be stuck on.
- Turn the Instant Pot off, and with the vent in the venting position, put the lid on. Turn the valve to sealing, select Manual or Pressure Cook for 5 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 5 minutes to build pressure and begin counting down.
- When the cook time is over, turn the Instant Pot off and let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes. Open the vent, then remove the lid.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and any toppings as desired.
