Instant Pot Risotto Food

INSTANT POT RISOTTO

Steps:

• Saute Onions & Garlic: Heat up Instant Pot using "Sauté More" function. Wait until Instant Pot says "HOT". Add 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter or olive oil in Instant Pot. Ensure the whole bottom is coated with oil. Saute diced onions and shallot for 2 minutes. Add in minced garlic, then saute for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Toast Arborio Rice in Instant Pot: Make some room in Instant Pot by pushing the onions and garlic to the side of the inner pot.Add 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter to the empty side of the Instant Pot. Pour in 2 cups (400g) arborio rice. Ensure all the rice is coated with butter. Give it a quick stir to mix everything together. Toast arborio rice for 2 - 3 minutes to give the dish a really nice nutty flavor. *Pro Tip: We don't want to brown the rice. Ensure the arborio rice's edges become translucent, while the center remains white.
• Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour in ½ cup (125ml) dry white wine, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for roughly a minute to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
• Pressure Cook Risotto: Add in 2 tbsp (30ml) regular soy sauce and 4 cups (1000ml) unsalted chicken stock. Give it a quick mix and make sure no rice is sticking to the sides of the Instant Pot. With Venting Knob in Venting Position, close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure 5 minutes, then Quick Release. Open the lid carefully. Optional Fancy Step - Warm Plates: Warm serving plates in the oven (200°F toaster oven) to ensure the best risotto consistency when served.
• Add Green Peas & Cheese: The risotto will look soupy at first. Add ½ cup - 1 cup (85g - 170g) green peas to the risotto. Stir to combine and form a creamy smooth consistency. *Pro Tip: If the risotto is too runny, stir and cook for another few minutes using "Sauté" function. Add in 42g freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to melt the cheese. When the risotto reaches your desired consistency, taste and season with kosher salt & black pepper (we used 2 pinches of salt for seasoning).
• Serve: Add risotto to a warmed plate. Garnish with shredded prosciutto, grated Parmesan cheese, and finely chopped chives. Enjoy~*Note: For the best tasting experience, serve risotto immediately.

Steps:

• Add the mushrooms, garlic, leeks, thyme, 6 tablespoons of the butter, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Set the pot to high saute (see Cook's Note) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have reduced in volume and are beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is opaque but not browning, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the wine has been absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.

INSTANT POT MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Stir in stock. Lock on lid, making sure steam-release valve is in the proper sealed position.
