Chef's Notes

Notes

Do not rinse risotto rice. this removes the starch, which is essential for creamy risotto. 
Many other vegetables could be used in place of the broccolini (or Tenderstem broccoli) including other types of broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, kale or green beans. 

Broccolini will be very soft when cooked in an Instant Pot and could easily be stirred into the risotto as it breaks into smaller pieces. For broccoli with more bite, roast it in the oven and serve on top of the risotto.

Because the Instant Pot seals in the liquid, you cannot use the same ratios as when cooking on a stovetop. Stick with the ratio in the recipe card for best results.

After the Instant Pot has finished cooking, let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving. This gives time for excess liquid to be absorbed into the rice and adds to the creaminess.

Taste the risotto to see if any salt is needed. Remember that the Parmesan cheese will also add saltiness.
