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 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 to the mix. Today I chose 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.
