This recipe was a hit with my family! Thank you for a risotto recipe that doesn’t involve me standing over a pot and stirring.

I halved the recipe for a 3-qt Instant Pot, and it worked perfectly. The flavor was balanced, and the consistency was just like risotto that I had carefully stirred over the stove. Directions were clear and easy to follow. Everyone loved it. Great recipe.

Made this tonight with a veggie stock with soy sauce and asparagus mushrooms and Korean shallots. it tasted better than when I stir it with a wooden spoon clockwise for 25-40 minutes. So this is a big win for having risotto more often.

Made this risotto recipe last night. I’m a traditionalist and prefer the stove top and stir risotto method. This came close in texture and was easier. There are just two older adults in our household so I used 3/4 cup arborio rice, 1-1/2 cups no chicken broth, 1/2 of a small onion minced, 1 garlic clove minced, 1/4 cup dry white wine, and1Tablespoon olive oil. Finished with 1/2 cup frozen petite peas and about a quarter cup of fresh grated parmesan cheese.

In reply to Amy + Jacky.

Just wanted to say I made this with brown rice and increased the cooking time to 15min per your directions and it was absolutely delicious 😋

Perfect, every time. I’ve used this as a base and added in shrimp, mushrooms, asparagus and just as-is. Great to make ahead for a party so you don’t have to be stuck in the kitchen while your guests mingle!

I have cooked Instant Pot Risotto with pure ghee. Ghee is flavorsome, healthy, and offers a creamy mouthfeel when used in cooking risotto. It enhances the creamy feel of the dish which I miss with butter or olive oil as cooking oil. I liked the test and the texture of the risotto, cooked with ghee.

I always follow your recipes for making rice of all types. This is the first time I’ve tried risotto per your recipe. Seems like a lot of liquid. But I’m used to using one and a half cups of abrorio rice generally.
I didn’t have any white wine, so I used dry vermouth, which is a great substitute if you don’t keep white wine on hand. You can always use the vermouth in cooking! it adds the dryness, the acidity and a few other herbal flavors that are not noticeable once it’s cooked.
I also rarely see garlic included in most risotto recipes. So I left it out and just added a pinch of garlic powder. Also soy sauce sounds like a great idea but instead of soy sauce. I used some Vietnamese fish sauce but only a tablespoon. I’ve learned in many Italian recipes Anchovies add that umami flavor. And what’s fish sauce except fermented anchovies? At the end I also added some dried parsley and some dried chives since that too I didn’t have anything fresh. A lot of people look down on dried herbs but if they’re fresh and that’s all you have, why not? I received the mini instant pot as a gift from a neighbor who was moving away and never used it. Although it’s as convenient as the 6 quart IPA, I feel that it takes a little bit longer sometimes for things to come up to pressure in the mini IP.

Super easy and super yummy! My picky son loved it and said mom did you go to Italy to learn how to make that?
