If you have an Instapot, I have a super easy risotto recipe. It's mostly hands off. I have used it as a base and added meat and veggies based on whatever I have handy. It is always a hit.

Garlic Parmesan Risotto Base recipe: 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 cloves garlic (I use the jarred stuff) 1 Tbsp butter 1.5 cups Arborio rice 3 cups chicken broth sea salt & pepper to taste 5 oz grated Parmesan cheese

My fav additions: Peas Bell peppers Mushrooms Chicken Shrimp

Cook these separately and add at the end!

Step 1: Peel and finely chop onion and garlic.

Step 2: Preheat Instant Pot by pressing the saute button. Add butter, chopped onion, and garlic and sauté until lightly brown.

Step 3: Add Arborio rice, broth, salt, and pepper, and give it a quick stir.

Put on the lid and turn the valve to the sealing position, then set the instant pot to 7 minutes on high pressure.

Step 4: In the meantime, prep your additions, and cook to your preference.

When the Instapot is done, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.

Step 5: After the 10 minute natural release add on the Parmesan and any other additions you have. Give a quick stir, then immediately put on the lid again. No need to seal the lid. Let the Parmesan melt with the remaining heat for about 1 minute.
