    In a blind taste test, you would never guess this pressure cooker mushroom risotto was not prepared the traditional way. It's perfectly rich and creamy!

    Just a few years ago, being somewhat of a food "purist," I never would have guessed that Instant Pot mushroom risotto would be so amazing. Stovetop risotto typically takes lots of love and careful attention. Fortunately, making risotto in a pressure cooker is simple enough that any home cook can achieve a beautiful risotto!

    What is Risotto?

    Risotto is a northern Italian dish that has many variations. But, at its core, risotto is a rice dish cooked in broth to achieve a creamy consistency. It can be served as a side, or as the main course. If you're making a traditional "authentic" risotto, you'll find yourself carefully crafting the risotto on the stove top, keeping it moving and adding one ladle of broth at a time. Fortunately, I've found that cooking risotto in the pressure cooker yields beautiful results every time! Even if you've perfected the authentic method of cooking risotto, I highly recommend giving the pressure cooker version a try!

    Our Favorite Instant Pot Risotto Recipes

    I've cooked, and eaten, a lot of risotto in my life. And believe it or not, this Instant Pot mushroom risotto is one of my favorites. However, in different seasons, I enjoy different styles of risotto. My favorite risotto to make during the summertime is lemon risotto with summer squash. It’s bright and creamy, with a simple-to-execute method. During the spring, I enjoy risotto with spring peas and mint. And of course, I now make them all in our Instant Pot!

    The Process

    Finely chopped mushrooms in pot.

    Using sauté setting - add 2 tablespoons of oil and mushrooms to pot and season with ¼ teaspoon of salt. The salt will cause the mushrooms to sweat, which is what we want to happen.

    ...and it all evaporates. Set mushrooms aside.

    Diced onions and celery in pot.

    Continuing on sauté - add 2 tablespoons of oil, onions, celery, and ¼ teaspoon of salt to pot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Diced onion and celery in pot seasoned with coriander.

    Once the onions softened and begin to release liquid, add coriander and continue cooking for another minute or so.

      My family does not care for any rice, but I prepared this in my Foodi and they loved it. . Leftovers are great, too

      Would this work if wine were omitted?

        I'm sure there are some that would say yes, but I am not one of those people. Any real risotto will have wine.

      My son makes a mushroom risotto for me that also has grilled asparagus in it! And since he is a vegetarian, he uses veggie broth. It’s to die for!

      Excited to try this, but what can I substitute for the ground coriander? Fresh cilantro?

        Cilantro and ground coriander have completely different tastes, so I wouldn't recommend subbing that. And honestly, I've forgotten to add the coriander before, and it was still delicious! So I'd say just leave it out.

      Thinking about trying this for Christmas and adding dried cranberries. Do you think that would work?

        I would not recommend adding cranberries or anything sweet to this dish.
