Instant Pot Risotto

 Ingredients

• 4 cups broth (chicken, vegetable, etc.).  Warmed first.
• 2 T butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 T fresh thyme leaves, I used dried thyme
• 2 C arborio rice 
• 1/4 C dry white wine
• 3/4 grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat broth.
2. Set Instant Pot to Sauté function and melt butter.  Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant.  Add rice and stir until toasted, 2 minutes.
3. Deglaze pot with wine.  Cook until most of the wine is absorbed, then turn Sauté function off.
4. Add warm broth and place lid on Instant Pot.  Set to Manual, High and set time for 5 minutes.
5. Turn valve to quick release.   Remove lid and stir in Parmesan cheese.  Season with salt and pepper.   

I made this on April 18, 2021.  I followed the recipe exactly and it finally came out perfect!!!  Who knew?  After it was cooked, I stirred in cooked asparagus and chicken!
