Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto
Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto. Another game changer. I can safely say, risotto is back on our weeknight menu at home, thanks to my new favourite kitchen appliance. No stirring, adding the stock bit by bit and praying it comes out perfectly. It really is as simple as a brief sauté session, then the stock is added, sealed with lid and does it’s own thing for 10 minutes. Once you release the steam and open, stir in the parmesan and season to taste.
If you prefer a thicker risotto, simply leave in the Instant Pot with Keep Warm setting on for a little while.
Delicious sprinkled with earthy toasted hazelnuts and a good drizzle of truffle olive oil. Garnish with left over herbs and extra parmesan is an absolute must.
