RISOTTO IN A PRESSURE COOKER
This risotto is reason enough to buy a pressure cooker. Forget all those wive's tales about these things blowing up... they have a new, safer generation. This is a no-stir risotto that could compete with the best! I serve it as is, but you could add a cooked vegetable or bits of meat after the pressure has fallen and the rice is cooked.

Steps:
- Heat the butter and oil in the cooker. Saute the onion until soft but not brown, about 2 minute Stir in the rice, making sure to coat it thoroughly with the fat. Stir in 3-1/2 c of the stock (watch for sputtering oil).
- Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to hig pressure. Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 6 minute Reduce pressure with a quick-release method (see below). Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
- Taste the rice, and if it's not sufficiently cooked, add a bit more stock as you stir. Cook over medium heat until the additional liquid has been absorbed and the rice is desired consistency, another minute or two. When the rice is ready, stir in the Gruyere and Parmesan, add salt to taste and serve immediately.
- NOTES: Adding some sort of fat is critical when cooking rice and grains so that the liquid/starch doesn't foam and plug up the steam vents. I'd also keep a close eye on it toward the end as I imagine that if you use less water the rice might dry out in the last minute or so. Also, Cooking Under Pressure is a nice reference book with a number of modern/gourmet- type recipes such as this one.
- For better taste and texture, it's essential to use an Italian short-grain white rice such as Arborio, Carnaroli, or Maratelli. Traditionally the rice is not rinsed before cooking since the water would wash away starches that contribute to the velvety sauce enveloping each grain. The perfect risotto should be slightly soupy and properly chewy, with the rice offering just a pleasant resistance to the bite. For this reason, the pressure is always quick-released and the risotto must be served as soon as it is finished -- Leftover risotto can also be shaped into pancakes and warmed or pan-fried in a little butter, or heated in the microwave.
- Using the basic formula of 3-1/2 to 4 c of liquid to 1-1/2 c Arborio rice you can create your own recipes and also use traditional recipes.
- Although classic risottos usually contain wine, the above recipe(s) are flavorful without it.

Steps:
- In a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and sauté until soft, but not brown.
- Add the rice and sauté until well-coated with the oil. Deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce until the pan is almost dry.
- Using a 4-ounce (115 g) ladle, add one ladle of boiling stock to the rice. Stir the rice until the stock is absorbed and the rice is almost dry. Continue adding stock 1 ladle at a time until the rice is tender, but still firm. It should be moist and creamy, but not runny.
- Add the tomato basil bisque and stir to combine.
- Remove the risotto from the heat, and stir in the butter and the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of minced garlic and the shrimp. Season with salt and white pepper. Add the peas and cook until the shrimp is pink and opaque, 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the shrimp from the heat and sprinkle with parsley. Divide the risotto between 2 warm serving plates. Top each with half the shrimp and peas. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Use Arborio or Carnaroli rice, which are specifically designed for risotto.
- Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Add the liquid gradually. Don't add all of the liquid at once, or the rice will become mushy. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
- Stir the risotto frequently. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and will also help to create a creamy sauce.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir the risotto. A metal spoon can damage the rice.
- Don't overcook the risotto. The rice should be cooked through, but it should still have a slight bite to it.
- Season the risotto to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served hot and fresh.
