How to Make Pressure Cooker Risotto With Peas

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in your pressure cooker over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened, stirring frequently to prevent browning.
  3. Add 1 cup Arborio rice and sauté until lightly browned, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas and 4 cups hot chicken stock. Stir well to combine.
  5. Secure the pressure cooker lid and bring to high pressure.
  6. Once pressure is reached, reduce heat to low and cook for 13 minutes (or 7 minutes on high pressure, adjusting based on your cooker's instructions).
  7. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once the pressure is fully released, carefully open the lid.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Let stand for 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese and butter to melt completely and create a creamy texture.
  10. Stir thoroughly and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly creamy and quick risotto!
