Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Engage the Saute function on your multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, stirring until the butter is melted. Add the corn kernels and sauté, stirring occasionally, for approximately 2 minutes. Transfer the corn to a separate bowl and set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
8 mins

Introduce the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot. Add the finely chopped red onion and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Incorporate the minced garlic and Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the oil mixture. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly toasted, approximately 2 minutes. Deglaze the pot by pouring in the white wine and simmering for about 30 seconds, stirring to release any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Introduce the chicken broth and stir to combine. (Prep time: 8 minutes)

03

Step
6 mins

Deactivate the Saute function. Secure the lid, ensuring it is properly locked. Select the high-pressure setting according to the manufacturer's guidelines and set the timer for 6 minutes. Allow the pressure to build, which typically takes between 5 to 10 minutes. (Cook time: 6 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, following the manufacturer's instructions, approximately 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. (Release time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Incorporate the reserved corn kernels and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir until the risotto achieves a creamy consistency, about 1 minute. Integrate the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stirring until melted and thoroughly combined. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley. (Finishing time: 3 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
Ensure the Arborio rice is evenly coated with oil to prevent sticking during pressure cooking.
Quick release of pressure is recommended to prevent overcooking the risotto.
Adjust the amount of chicken broth for a creamier or more al dente texture.
