Hi there, friends! Today I am sharing a very tasty and simple mushroom risotto made in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. You could consider this a vegan dish. Almost 100% vegan if you do not add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. I say pass me the cheese, please!

More for Me

My husband has pea phoebe. I, on the other hand, do not. This dish was exclusive to me, and all me. Truth is, Mike was working so he missed out regardless. This mushroom risotto can be made without peas too-of course.

Fresh mushrooms, chopped onion, some chopped garlic, and a little bit of fresh thyme.

Give Risotto a Chance

One heaping cup of risotto. If you never tried risotto I highly recommend giving your first go with this recipe. Risotto is a creamy rice dish both comforting and warm. Much easier than you may think. Not to mention, made in the Instant Pot really makes it a breeze.

If cooking on the stove top, risotto typically is a long simmer, and a constant watch. That’s the beauty of our Instant Pots, set and go!

I hope you enjoy this mushroom risotto in the Instant Pot as much as I did.
