Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto (Pressure Cooker)

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto is so easy to make in a pressure cooker. No more standing and stirring and your taste buds will dance with glee.

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

The first time I made Risotto was in my Wolfgang Puck Pressure Cooker, about 12 years ago. I had always heard how much work Risotto is on the stove top.

All the stirring and adding liquid and stirring. Sounded like too much trouble.

So, I decided to try my hand at a Pressure Cooker version. Little did I know, that my first try would be the recipe that I would use for years to come.

If you just bought the new Instant Pot DUO MINI 7-in-1, this recipe is perfect to break in your new baby.

I had a big container of Wild Mushrooms in my cabinet and on the back was a recipe for Mushroom Risotto on the stove top. Challenge, accepted. The result was a rich and creamy, very flavorful Mushroom Risotto.

For purposes of this Pressure Cooker Best Wild Mushroom Risotto recipe, I am using Fresh, store bought, Cremini (baby Bella’s), and will write the recipe for both dried wild and store bought mushrooms.

Feel free to use whatever mushrooms, wild or otherwise, that you prefer; just don’t choose the plain white, Button mushrooms, as they are flavorless. The Fennel Seeds, really give this Risotto a very special taste.

Wild Mushrooms have a very hearty taste (I love morels and porcini), however, plain ole Crimini Mushrooms give a really wonderful flavor. Chicken Bone Broth (vegetarians, use vegetable broth) is great in this recipe. If soaking your dried mushrooms, set aside the cooking water to use in the recipe.

If you have none on hand (and why don’t you?), then use either a packaged broth, or Chicken Base mixed with water. Have all your ingredients chopped and ready, as things happen fast.

How to Make Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

 

2016-03-05 14.48.36

When using a stainless steel cooking pot, remember to first  heat the Pressure Cooker cooking pot and then add the fat, in order to make it non-stick.

 

2016-03-05 14.52.47

The white wine will evaporate very quickly, so keep your eye on it as you stir.

 

2016-03-05 14.57.01

After the wine has evaporated, add the liquid, salt and mushrooms to the Pressure Cooker cooking pot and then lock on the lid and cook under pressure for just 4 minutes.

 

2016-03-05 15.19.57

Once, you have removed the pressure, continue cooking until creamy and tender but still firm to the bite. Continue stirring and add more broth, just 4 oz at a time. If thinner consistency is desired, add more broth and stir another 2 minutes.

 

2016-03-05 15.21.50

When desired creaminess of your Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto is reached, mix in the grated cheese and parsley and add pepper to taste.

Garnish with parsley and more grated cheese if you like. Enjoy! If you love Risotto, try my Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto.
