Make Perfectly Cooked Risotto Every Time with this Foolproof Instant Pot Risotto Recipe!

Risotto, risotto, why are you so hard to make though?

If you get frustrated when making this tasty dish, I would like to introduce you to the Instant Pot method.

It’s a GAME CHANGER, my friend!

The best part is, this way of cooking risotto cancels out that dreaded part of standing at the stove stirring and stirring while the rice cooks. The magical Instant Pot DOES THAT PART FOR YOU. Just a few minutes to Saute and then, “Look Ma, no hands!!” 😉

Foolproof Instant Pot Risotto

The best and easiest way to cook risotto!
Prep Time5 minutes minutes
Cook Time6 minutes minutes

Ingredients 

  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups arborio rice
  • 1/3 cup white cooking wine or dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt the butter on Saute-High mode in the Instant Pot insert. Once melted, saute the chopped onion and minced garlic for 2 minutes. Add the rice and saute for 1 minute. Toss the rice once or twice while it is toasting in the butter.
  • Turn off the saute mode and quickly pour in the white wine, chicken broth, and fresh chopped parsley. Stir to combine. Put the lid on, set the valve to sealing and cook on High Pressure for 6 minutes.
  • Quick release the pressure, remove the lid, and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Remove the insert from the base, and let cool slightly before serving. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
