I thought there was a lot of liquid, so looked up the recipe in the cookbook.
It calls for 1 and 1/2 cup arborio rice so plan to do that next time. Made it with asparagus for the spring and we loved it and plan to repeat.
Thanks!
I made a mushroom risotto in the instapot. Do you think this would work the same? I might try.
Loved this! I poured everything into the roasting pan and added mushrooms v
Leisa, please post your results if you can modify the recipe for instant pot. That would be so much less daunting!
This is one of the more labour intensive recipes here (risotto is not easy for me). I made it though, and while it was probably a bit gluggy from not stirring frequently enough, the flavour was sensational! I’d definitely put in the effort to make it again and try to get it just right.
