Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Arborio Rice risotto
  • 1 cup Chopped Mushrooms
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 4 cups Chicken Stock
  • 4 Bell Peppers any color
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • 1 ½ cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Add butter and oil to the inner pot and turn on the saute mode. Add chopped onions and saute for 1-2 minutes before adding the mushrooms. 
  • Stir the mushrooms in and saute for another minute.
  • Pour the rice into the inner pot and stir on saute mode for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the chicken stock a little at a time, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  • Cut the tops off of the peppers, and remove the seeds. Arrange peppers in a pan that will fit in the inner pot.
  • Pour water into the inner pot, and then add the trivet to the pot. Scoop risotto mixture into the peppers. It will have a lot of liquid in it.
  • Add any extra mixture to additional peppers, to the pan the peppers are in, or to an extra pan. Lower the pan with the peppers into the Instant Pot with a sling.
  • Set the pressure valve to sealing, and then set for a manual high-pressure time of 5 minutes.
  • At the end of the cooking time, allow for a quick pressure release.
  • Sprinkle a little parmesan on top of your stuffed peppers.

Notes

Incorporating uncooked rice into your Instant Pot Stuffed Peppers is a game-changer for efficiency and flavor absorption. The rice will absorb the savory juices from the other ingredients during the pressure cooking process, infusing each grain with a rich, aromatic taste. To enhance this, consider briefly toasting the uncooked rice in the Instant Pot before adding the other ingredients. This adds a nutty depth to the rice and amplifies the overall flavor profile of your stuffed peppers.
