  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

1 cup Arborio rice (short-grain rice)

¼ cup white wine

2 cups chicken broth

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon butter

¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided

Arborio rice (1 ½ cups) Provides the creamy texture characteristic of risotto

Mushrooms (8 oz, sliced) Adds earthy flavor and nutritional value

Vegetable broth (4 cups) Used for cooking the rice and infusing flavor

Onion (1 medium, chopped) Adds aroma and depth of flavor

Garlic (2 cloves, minced) Enhances savory taste

Olive oil (2 tablespoons) Used for sautéing and adds healthy fats

Parmesan cheese (½ cup, grated) Adds creaminess and richness

Instructions

1-Prepare all ingredients by chopping onions, mincing garlic, and slicing mushrooms. Measure out rice and broth to ensure a smooth cooking process.

2-Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode. Heat olive oil, then add onions and garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant to build flavor.

3-Add sliced mushrooms to the cooker and sauté until they release moisture and begin to brown, enhancing the dish’s rich taste.

4-Stir in Arborio rice, coating it with oil and toasting slightly for a nutty flavor foundation.

5-Pour in vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper. Secure the lid and set pressure cooker to high for 7 minutes. (Based on the recipe, use 2 cups chicken broth, 2 cloves garlic, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.)

6-After cooking, perform a quick release to prevent overcooking. Stir the risotto gently, adding Parmesan or its substitutes for creaminess.

7-Final Step: Adjust seasoning if needed, serve immediately and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. For dietary adaptations, consider using vegan cheese or gluten-free broth; cooking times remain consistent.
