Risotto with Pancetta, Peas & Mushrooms

Step 1

Select Sauté on the Instant Pot and melt the butter. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir until it looks slightly translucent and has a nutty aroma, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the wine and stir until the wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the broth.

Step 4

Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to Sealing. Press the Keep Warm/Cancel button to reset the program, then press the Manual/Pressure Cook button and set the cook time for 10 minutes at high pressure.

Step 5

While the rice cooks, in a large sauté pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta, stirring often, until the fat starts to render, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the peas and cook until heated through, about 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Turn the valve to Venting to manually release the steam. When the steam stops, carefully remove the lid and stir in the pancetta-mushroom mixture. Add the Parmesan, stir to mix, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 9

Spoon onto individual plates or shallow bowls, garnish with pea shoots and Parmesan, and serve.
