Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

I love delicious elegant meals, but normally they take hours to prepare in the kitchen. No thanks!  But ever since I started using my Instant Pot even the most elegant meals are done in a snap. This Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto is one of those meals that used to require lots of stirring and watching, but now it is almost as easy as setting it and forgetting it. It is a must-try on your dinner menu just like my Instant Pot Deviled Eggs. 

This dish is creamy delicious and packed full of delicious rich flavors that you will love. 

How to make Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

• Press the Saute button Add and melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic, cook for 3–5 minutes until onions are translucent.
• Add in the mushrooms and allow them to start to cook.  Stirring while they cook, for 3-4 minutes.

• Add rice and cook for an additional minute.

• Add 1 cup broth and stir for 2–3 minutes until it is absorbed by the rice.
• Add remaining 3 cups broth, Lock lid.

• Press the Manual button and adjust time to 5 minutes (HIGH).
• When the timer beeps, do a quick release.

Tips Tricks and FAQs

• If you want to make this even more elegant you can add a drizzle of truffle oil over the risotto once it is cooked. 
• You technically can use any short grain rice, but Arborio rice really is the secret ingredient to good risotto.
