Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto with Peas
If you have never had risotto, you are missing out! It is rich and creamy, and so versatile! Once you learn how to make risotto, you can change up the recipe for your taste, or for what you have on hand.
Whic rice is best for making risotto?
Risotto is made with a special type of rice called Arborio, or you can use Carnaroli (creamier).
The rice is cooked in a well seasoned broth until nice and creamy. The rice is what makes it creamy, so no dairy is required!
My favorite risotto is served at a local Italian restaurant that Paul and I like. Their version is just a parmesan risotto, but it is lovely in its simplicity.
They serve it as a side dish to their amazing entrees.
I was inspired to make my own version of a classic Italian mushroom pea risotto. Even better to make it in my Instant Pot so I didn’t have to stir it for a long time!
It’s just so awesome how this pressure cooker Mushroom Risotto with Peas is so easy to make! I think once you try it in your Instant Pot you will end up making it quite often.
