After watching cooking shows in which they served risotto, I knew I needed to find a recipe for it. This one is delicious and has been given a 'two thumbs up' by my family. The recipe might not take an hour to make, but the time is allowing for the Instant Pot to pressurize twice.

prep time 5 Min
cook time 1 Hr
method Pressure Cooker/Instant Pot
yield 4-6 serving(s)
