Pressure Cooker Easy Mushroom Risotto

This delicious easy mushroom risotto is creamy, cheesy, and super flavorful. The perfect quick weeknight dinner idea that is vegetarian and does not require babysitting. Just place it on your pressure cooker and go help the kids with homework.

I love serving this Easy Mushroom Risotto with a fresh green salad. It’s definitely a no-brainer for a busy week. Normally making risotto used to be a pain, you would have to stand in front of the stove stirring like a crazy mad person.

I remember my mom once inviting friends over for dinner. Since they were vegetarian, we chose to make Risotto. I spend all afternoon in the kitchen stirring the rice while adding the stock slowly. With the pressure cooking method, this step is skipped as the machine does the entire leg work for me.

You can use your favorite kinds of mushrooms for this recipe. If you can find dried, better yet! Just hydrate them before adding it into the mix. Today I choose portobello, next time I will try wild ones.

If you’re hosting a dinner party, this easy Mushroom Risotto is ideal. Prep and leave it on the pressure cooker. By the time your guests are hungry, open the lid and mix in the cheeses. And voila! Dinner is served.

Another great thing I love about this recipe is the use of one pot. Ever since I got my Instant Pot last week, I am so amazed at the amount of things I can make.

    I made this, and I can’t thank you enough for a simple flavorful recipe. It was my lunch today and will be either lunch/dinner for the next three days. As a grad student, my time isn’t always my own so being able to meal prep is key, especially with healthy foods. I will definitely make this again.

    Wow! And I mean WOW! This recipe is solid. Simple to follow, easy prep and outstanding results. I am a big fan of risotto ( I even have a dedicated enameled cast iron pot for the purpose ) and was looking forward to the time savings an Instant Pot would bring. I expected good, but I did not expect this great.

    The trick to good risotto is rice texture. You want it to be creamy, but still have just a tiny bit of stiffness, of bite. I made a 1/2 batch of this recipe (1/2’ed all ingredients, kept cooking time the same) only altering by adding 1 glove minced garlic just before the rice.

    The results were so creamy and tasty that I didn’t really need to add the cheese. ( I still did. *smile*) Great balance, great texture, great recipe.

    This turned out great! If I want to double the quantity of rice, how should I adjust the recipe and cook time?

      Glad you liked it ND. No need to adjust the time when doubling a recipe. It’ll simply take longer for the IP to come to pressure

    I love that you can adjust the recipe by servings. That said, is this to be served as an entree? I would like to know how much is a serving by volume, i.e., cups.

      July 15, 2017 at 7:31 pm

      Hi Roxie, this is a very hearty dish so I eat it as an entree. About 1 1/2 cups each. If you would like to serve it as a side, simply cut the recipe by half. Hope that helps!

    My husband loves risotto. As he is home from working out of town all week, I thought of making this dish. It was a success. He loved it and we even have leftovers for meals this week. It was easy to follow, didn’t take long, the rice was creamy and the taste was amazing.

    Can I use brown rice? If so, how would I adjust the cook time and liquids?

      Hi Michelle, I wouldn’t use brown rice for risotto. It would take a longer time to cook and it won’t be as creamy. If you still would like to make it with brown rice. Adjust the time to 20 minutes,if the rice is still not cooked by then, close the lid and cook on high pressure for 2 more minutes

    Made this
    Last night. I have never made a risotto before becuase it always seemed so labor intensive. This could not have been easier. I am new to the instapot world but this recipe will keep me coming back. Delicious, absolutely delicious.

    I would maybe suggest putting in a parmesan substitute as it is not vegetarian.

    What release method do you suggest? Natural or quick? I was leaning towards manual. 10 minutes natural and then quick. Although, I don’t want to add more time to cook. Then again, I don’t want to ruin it. Help! lol Thanks!

      Yes Janice it is possible, but I can’t guarantee that the rice won’t be overcooked while the chicken cooks.

      I am not a wine drinker either. I just buy the little 4 pack of 8oz bottles to use in cooking. That way you don’t waste an entire bottle. I just recap it and stick it in the fridge to use later. Still good for cooking after a week or so.

        That’s a great idea Susan! the little bottles are perfect!
