Recipe for Instant Pot Vegetable Risotto submitted by Cara
A really simple and filling recipe for an electric pressure cooker such as the Instant Pot or Pressure King Pro. Can also be made in a conventional stove top pressure cooker, or even the slow cooker (just cook for 3-4 hours in the slow cooker).
It takes less than ten minutes to prepare and the same to cook, so is perfect for rushed mid-week meals.
Although I used red peppers, peas, sweetcorn, and onion in the recipe you can change to tastes. Since any veg can be used in the recipe you can use up whatever is lurking in your vegetable draw making it very frugal.
Serves 4.
Ingredients for Instant Pot Vegetable Risotto:
