It is supposed to be hot and time for fresh rolls and salads. But after a few days of heat we are back at a cold front again. Which means, it is still warm comfort food time. Risotto reminds me of khichdi/kitchari. Creamy, comfort food in a bowl that is simple, delicious and a canvas to build more flavor over. This Mushroom risotto is super quick, simple. Delicious, made in an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. It takes just a few mins to get the same creamy bowl that works for all seasons.

Saute the onion, brown the mushrooms, add the rice and roast for a minute, add the broth, mix, pressure cook and done. No standing near the stove top needed. Just 20 Minutes of Active time. Add herbs and flavors of choice. Stove top option in the Recipe notes. Serve with roasted seasonal veggies or a side salad! This is a very buildable recipe. Add veggies, more mushrooms and what not.

Easy,
1 POT
Creamy comfort food without standing in the kitchen stirring!

Tips to make a fabulous Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto:

Toast the rice before adding broth. The pan is hot enough and this takes just a minute or 2.
Caramelized onion and browned mushrooms add a deep flavor. Cook them long enough.
The risotto can easily be made without oil by roasting in a bit of broth.
Don’t like mushrooms?, use more onion, zucchini, cauliflower, broccolini etc and add more poultry seasoning.
