Instructions
Sauté the shallots and garlic - Set Instant Pot to sauté mode (medium). Add the olive oil and butter to the bowl of your Instant pot and add the shallots, mixing well to combine. Cook the shallots, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent (approximately 4-6 minutes). Add the garlic and sage, mixing well to combine. Continue to cook until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
Add the white wine - Add the white wine, scraping off any brown bits that may have formed on the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to come to a simmer.
Sauté the arborio rice - Mix the arborio rice into the shallot and white wine mixture. Allow the rice and wine to cook, stirring continuously until most of the liquid is absorbed.

If you prefer not to cook with wine, replace it with 1/2 cup of broth.
After your risotto has been cooked and you remove the lid to your pressure cooker, you may notice a layer of broth resting on the top. That’s ok and totally normal. Use a wooden spoon to combine the risotto with the additional liquid and continue to the next step.
Feel free to use salted or unsalted butter. I (almost) always cook with salted butter, so that’s what I added to this recipe.
Can’t find Arborio rice? Substitute with Carnaroli rice, Vialone Nano Rice, or other grain completely like farro, pearled barley, or steel-cut oats. Note that total liquid amounts and cooking times may vary.

Thank you very much for this recipe. Excellent. Have a great day.
Made this for a Friendsgiving and it was a hit. How large does your insta pot need to be to double the recipe?
I made this for a birthday get-together for my daughter's friend's parents. I've never made nor eaten Risotto before so this was a gamble. We had a backup plan in case it was a flop, but it looked like a fairly simple recipe to try something new.
EVERYONE LOVED IT! Even the picky eaters went back for seconds! I was delighted with how this recipe turned out. It was definitely a 10 out of 10, and I will make it again.
Thank you!
