Ingredient Notes
Here are a few notes on the Ingredients for your Mushroom Risotto
Rice for Risotto
When you are making Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto you want to make sure you are using an Arborio rice, which is an Italian short grain rice. There are other options, but Arborio is the most commonly found risotto rice.

Wine
Choose a white wine for your Risotto that is not sweet in flavor. A Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay is a great option.
If you prefer to not use wine you can sub chicken broth.
Rinsing Your Rice
All rice, including Arborio rice, is covered in a rice starch dust that will thicken during the cooking process and make your rice creamy. That is why when you are making simple white or brown rice it is a good idea to rinse your rice before cooking.
When you are making a creamy rice, like Mushroom Risotto, do not rinse your Arborio rice. The rice starch will help add to the creaminess of your final risotto dish.

How to Make Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto
Turn your Instant Pot on to sauté mode (normal), and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add 2 cups of chopped cremini mushrooms and 5 plump cloves of garlic, roughly chopped. Sauté for about 5 minutes.

Stir in 1 ½ cups dry Arborio rice and 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté with the mushrooms and garlic for about 2 minutes, stirring the majority of the time.

Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine. Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay make good choices. Deglaze the bottom of the pot.
Deglazing – Using heat and liquid to scrape up cooked bits from the bottom of the pot.
Pro Tip: It is important to deglaze the bottom of the Instant Pot. This can prevent getting the burn notice.
Pour in 3 cups of chicken stock. Scrape the sides of the pot down so all the bits and rice are down in the liquid.
Turn off the sauté mode. Pop the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the pressure vent to “seal”.
Set the pot to manual pressure mode, on high, for 7 minutes. At the end of time, do a 10 minute natural release, then quick release any remaining pressure.

Stir in ¾ cup milk (use 2%, whole, or half & half) and 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese. If you want to add frozen peas, add them now.
Give it a taste for additional seasoning and serve immediately : )
Reheating
To reheat your leftover risotto, simply add a little milk or water to each portion and heat it in the microwave for about 1 minute.

Recipe Tips
- If white wine is not something you normally drink you can purchase a small box of white wine. Freeze the leftover wine right in the box (only if you plan to cook with it). Leave room for it to expand in the freezer. It will be good for 3 months.
- Do not rinse your Arborio rice. The extra rice starch will add the creaminess.
- To make vegetarian use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth.

This was my first attempt at making risotto in the pressure cooker and I was skeptical that it would be as creamy as making it by hand, but I was proven wrong. Is was absolutely delicious and super creamy…
