Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

Can you believe creamy risotto in just 6 minutes? It’s true with my Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto recipe (pressure cooker recipe). Creamy and earthy – in just 6 minutes!

Risotto is a Northern Italian dish that is usually a labor of love because it involves a constantly stirring and adding liquid until the rice becomes a creamy rich texture. Well no more! Introducing Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto. Simply toast the rice, add the mushrooms, stock, and arborio rice – and 6 minutes later you have a perfectly creamy risotto.

When making risotto, even in the Instant Pot, it’s important to use Arborio rice. Arborio rice is fat grain that comes from Italy. It absorbs the liquid and gives the “fat” rice a creamy texture.

Let’s talk for a minute about the Instant Pot or pressure cooker. The Instant Pot is an electric multi-cooker. It’s a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, a steamer, a rice cooker, a yogurt maker and you can use it to saute and make cakes and bread. For the most part, I use it to saute and as a pressure cooker. Whether you’re cooking for two or six, I recommend the 6 Quart LUV Instant Pot.
