Print Recipe

A creamy, no-stir risotto made effortlessly in the Instant Pot with mushrooms and Parmesan cheese, delivering classic comfort food without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice (300 g)
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced (225 g) – cremini, white button, or baby bella
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (960 ml), warm
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (75 g)
  • ¼ cup white wine (60 ml, optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Slice the mushrooms, finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the Parmesan cheese.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ function. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When hot, add mushrooms with a pinch of salt and cook about 5 minutes until browned.
  3. Add onions and garlic, sauté another 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Stir in Arborio rice, coating each grain in the buttery mushroom mixture. Toast for about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in white wine (if using) and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot. Let wine reduce slightly for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add warm broth and stir quickly to combine. Close lid, set valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.
  7. Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
  8. Open lid and stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use warm broth to speed pressure build-up and prevent temperature shock to rice. Toasting the rice before pressure cooking locks in flavor and texture. Natural pressure release is important for creamy texture. Freshly grate Parmesan for best melt and flavor. If risotto is too thick, stir in warm broth or water to loosen. Let sit covered off heat if rice is slightly undercooked to absorb more liquid.
