Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Press Sauté on the Instant Pot and heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2.

    Stir in 1½ cups Arborio rice and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is golden brown and toasted, 4 to 6 minutes. Add ½ cup dry white wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed, about 1 minute. Stir in 3½ cups low-sodium chicken broth.

  3. Step 3.

    Cover the Instant Pot, lock the lid, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Use the quick release method to release pressure, then open the lid. Stir the risotto until the liquid is absorbed and the risotto is creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with additional Parmesan and cracked black pepper if desired.
