Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto
InstaPot, Side Dishes
Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
8 ounces (cremini) mushrooms, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup arborio rice
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups baby spinach
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Directions
Set a 6-qt Instant Pot® to the high saute setting. Melt 2 tablespoons butter; add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir in chicken broth, rice and thyme. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 6 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions.
Stir in spinach and remaining 2 tablespoons butter until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in peas and Parmesan until heated through, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Serve immediately.
Notes
CHANGES: leave out the spinach, do a little less than 1/2 cup of peas, and do 1 cup of parmesan, maybe 7 minutes on the rice. Cut down on the garlic.
Leif and I both loved it.
Also can make this into a seafood risotto by leaving out mushrooms and adding cooked lobster with the peas. Used half seafood stock. Added salt to the risotto
