Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 pinches saffron
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely diced onion
¼ cup dry white wine
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon butter (Optional)
Directions
Heat chicken broth in a sauce pan over low heat. Add saffron threads and simmer without boiling.
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and allow to get hot. Stir in onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and saute, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine and allow to reduce by half. Pour hot broth and saffron mixture into the Instant Pot® and stir to combine. Close and lock the lid.
Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method in short bursts according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in Parmesan cheese and butter and allow to sit for 3 minutes before serving. Top each serving with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Cook's Note:
Homemade chicken broth tastes best for this risotto. Ideally unsalted or if you use store-bought chicken broth, try buying one with no salt added or a low salt version.
