Instructions
- Press the saute button on an Instant Pot, use the adjust button to set on the “normal” setting.
- Add the butter to the pressure cooker, when the display says “hot”, add the onions, garlic and thyme, saute 4-5 minutes.
- Add the arborio rice and toast for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the white wine and deglaze the pan, simmering the wine for 1 minute.
- Press the Keep Warm/Cancel button on the pressure cooker.
- Add the worcestershire sauce and chicken broth, stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the pressure cooker and make sure the steam release is set to “sealing”.
- Press the “manual” button and set the pressure cooker to high pressure, then use the +/- buttons to set the pressure cooker to 6 minutes.
- When the cooking time is up, wait 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure before unlocking the lid.
- Remove the lid and stir in the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To make Vegetarian Instant Pot Risotto, use vegetable broth and replace the parmesan cheese with a vegetarian parmesan-style cheese.
- To make Vegan Instant Pot Risotto, use vegetable broth, replace the butter with olive oil and replace the parmesan cheese with a vegan parmesan-style cheese.
- Do NOT rinse the rice before making this recipe. While some recipes might require that rice is rinsed, or soaked, before cooking, you actually want all of the starches from the arborio rice to cook out into the dish, that’s what creates the creamy texture of risotto. So definitely do NOT rinse the rice before starting this recipe.
- You can make this risotto without wine. Simply replace the wine with an additional 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth. Use the 1/2 cup broth to deglaze the pan, just as you would with the white wine.
- Leftover risotto can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat the risotto in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, or on the stove. If reheating the risotto drys it out, you can always stir in 1-2 tablespoons chicken or vegetable broth.
