Instant Pot Risotto

Step 1

Turn the Instant Pot to saute and add the butter and onions.

Step 2

Cook and stir until onions are translucent.

Step 3

Add the rice, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the edges of the rice are just translucent.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth to pot and scrape the bottom well to remove any bits that may be stuck on.

Step 5

Turn the Instant Pot off, and with the vent in the venting position, put the lid on. Turn the valve to sealing, select Manual or Pressure Cook for 5 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 5 minutes to build pressure and begin counting down.

Step 6

When the cook time is over, turn the Instant Pot off and let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes. Open the vent, then remove the lid.

Step 7

Stir in Parmesan cheese and any toppings as desired.
