Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the chicken stock to a simmer.
  2. Set an Instant Pot to Saute and add the diced pancetta. Cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally until the fat has rendered and it begins to crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Add the onion and garlic to the rendered fat and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the rice to the pot and stir until well combined, toasting the rice for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the wine to the pot to deglaze it, scraping up any brown bits in the bottom of the pot. Add the heated chicken stock and stir until well combined. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. Once done, quick-release the pressure.
  5. Remove the cover and stir in the Parmesan, butter, and pancetta until smooth and creamy. Quickly stir in the egg yolk, one at a time, and season with salt to taste. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan and garnished with minced fresh parsley.

Notes

  • *Do not replace Arborio rice with long grain rice as it does not have the starch content of Arborio. The starch that is released by Arborio rice is essential to accomplish the desired creamy consistency of risotto.
