Pressure Cooker Easy Mushroom Risotto
Description
The recipe uses an Instant Pot or similar pressure cooker to prepare mushroom risotto from diced onions, sliced mushrooms, and fresh thyme. After sautéing the onions and mushrooms to soften and release flavor, arborio rice is toasted in the pot before adding red wine and broth. The mixture is sealed and pressure-cooked for a short time, significantly reducing risotto's usual cooking duration.
After releasing the pressure, grated Parmesan cheese and butter are stirred in to add creaminess and richness. The result is a thick, creamy risotto with tender grains and the earthy taste of mushrooms enhanced by thyme.
This risotto can be a satisfying main or side dish. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving. The recipe also mentions a stovetop adaptation for non-electric pressure cookers.

- 1 onion diced

Notes
- Using an instant pot shortens traditional risotto cooking time while keeping creamy texture.
- Stovetop pressure cookers can be used by sautéing ingredients then pressure cooking on medium-high heat.
- Check final consistency; if too thick, use sauté mode for a few minutes to achieve desired creaminess.
