Instant Pot Risotto

My super simple risotto recipe just got easier! The pressure cooker is a real game changer when it comes to making risotto. This recipe is a good base for many different variations. I personally love raw asparagus, peas, or snow peas.

This recipe is portioned to feed 8 or so people full dinner size servings. For an average night I halve this recipe.
