Mushroom risotto is a traditional Italian dish that has become popular all over the world thanks to its delicious, creamy flavor and hearty texture. In this version, we use a pressure cooker to make the process a little faster and more convenient for busy weeknights. The dish features arborio rice, which is known for its starchy texture and ability to absorb liquids well, making it perfect for risotto. The mushrooms add a rich, earthy flavor that pairs well with the salty parmesan cheese and savory chicken broth. Overall, this dish is a perfect choice when you're craving something warm, comforting, and tasty.

Instructions

1.Heat the butter and olive oil on the saute function in the pressure cooker.
2.Add the diced onions and cook until tender.
3.Add the arborio rice and stir to coat it in the oil and butter mixture.
4.Add the sliced mushrooms and stir to incorporate.
5.Pour in the chicken broth and white wine and stir to combine.
6.Use the manual setting to cook the risotto on high pressure for about 5 minutes.
7.Once the time is up, release the pressure manually and stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
8.Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

PROS

CONS

The type of rice used in risotto, arborio rice, can be more expensive and harder to find than other types of rice.
Additionally, making risotto does require some attention and stirring to ensure the rice cooks evenly and the resulting dish is creamy and not too thick or too soupy.
