Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated garlic (about 3 cloves)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (thinly sliced)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves or 1 or 2 sprigs of thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh chopped parsley or chives, for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics and Rice: Choose the sauté setting on the Instant Pot and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. When the oil and butter are hot, add the shallots. Cook the shallots for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are tender.
    Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Season with a generous dash of kosher salt and a pinch of pepper.

  3. Pressure Cook: Lock the lid in place and set the pot to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to release the remaining pressure. Remove the lid.
