🔪How to Make Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

Step One: First, you will rinse the fresh green beans and the carrots. Peel and chop the carrots. Chop the green beans and onion, and set aside. Place the butter and olive oil in the Instant Pot, and press the saute button.

Step Two: When the butter melts, add the onion, mushrooms, carrot, and green beans, and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the Instant Pot, and add the Chicken broth, and de-glaze the bottom of the pot, scraping the bottom with a spoon to loosen any bits of sautéed vegetables (this will give your broth a delicious flavor).

Step Three: Once all the little bits are off the bottom of the pot, add the Rice, minced garlic, parsley garlic salt, seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, Italian seasoning, and brown sugar, and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step Four: Make sure all the Risotto and vegetables are covered in the chicken broth. If they are not covered, add a little more broth. After you've stirred the Instant Pot ingredients, Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and seal. Pressure cook for 6 minutes.

Step Five: When the Instant Pot is done the cooking, allow it to sit for 2 minutes, then do a quick release, releasing all the pressure. After you remove the lid, stir the Risotto, if all the liquid has not been absorbed, continue to stir the Risotto. It will begin to thicken. Leave the Risotto in the Instant Pot.

Step Six: Slice the roasted red peppers, and the artichoke hearts and gently stir them into the dish. Add the Parmesan cheese, and stir. You can save a few of the peppers and artichokes to top the Risotto when serving.

Step Seven: Finally, plate or dish up the Risotto into bowls, and serve with a few roasted red peppers, and sliced artichokes, and Parmesan Cheese on top. Enjoy!
