Instructions
- Set Instant Pot to sauté mode and add butter until melted. Add onions and stir until tender, 1-2 minutes.
- Add drained rice to melted butter and stir for 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, broth, and lemon juice; stir to combine well.
- Secure lid and set to pressure cook for 8 minutes. Allow Instant Pot to do its natural release. Once natural release is completed, carefully remove lid and stir in parmesan while "fluffing" the rice.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve immediately, with chives or lemon zest for garnish, if desired.

- After adding the rice, sauté it in the melted butter for a full 2 minutes. This will help the rice absorb the flavors better and give it a slightly nutty flavor.
- Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice. It brightens the flavors and balances the richness of the Parmesan cheese.
- Allow the Instant Pot to do its natural release after pressure cooking. This helps the risotto to continue cooking gently and gives it a creamy texture.
- Serve the risotto immediately after adding the Parmesan. This dish is best enjoyed right after it's made.
- This recipe is part of our Instant Pot Recipes Collection.
- This 10-Minute Garlic Shrimp or Air Fryer Salmon are great options to serve with this creamy risotto.
