Risotto is notorious for taking at least half an hour of constant stirring. Here's a mushroom risotto that's creamy, intensely flavored, and ready in less time. How? Pull out the pressure cooker.
or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock would work as well) with extra flavors by heating up some dried porcini mushrooms in it.The fastest way I know to do this is to microwave the dried mushrooms with the stock until it comes to a simmer. This simultaneously softens the mushrooms to the point where you can chop them with a knife to incorporate them into the risotto, while also adding a ton of flavor to the broth.
Next up, I sautéed my fresh mushrooms in my pressure cooker. I generally cook my risotto with a mixture of extra-virgin olive oil and butter for flavor and richness, but I found that my butter burned if I added it right from the start. Instead, I decided to cook my mushrooms in pure oil, sautéing them until they release all of their moisture and start to brown significantly. When you do this, you'll see the mushrooms drop in volume by a good 80% or so.
When the base flavors were all in place, I added the rice and toasted it until it was just barely translucent, before adding a splash of dry white wine and letting it reduce to cook off any raw alcohol aroma. With a classic risotto, this step is not quite as necessary—even if you add your stock right after adding the wine, a prolonged cook on the stovetop will drive off most of the alcohol.
With standard risotto, you use stock and rice in a ratio of about four to one. With pressure cooker risotto, due to the minimal evaporation, it's more like two to one. This may well be the onlyadvantage of pressure cooker risotto—with no reduction, you don't get any intensification of broth flavors as it cooks down, which is to say that the broth had better be darned tasty before it goes in the pot! Luckily, the double mushroom infusion accomplishes this.
