Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
⅛ cup chopped onion
⅛ cup chopped carrot
⅛ cup chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
2 cups peeled and diced butternut squash
½ cup chopped leek
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
½ cup dry white wine
4 cups warm vegetable broth
½ cup shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (such as Aceto Balsamico di Modena)

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil, onion, carrot, and celery. Cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary and stir to combine. Add butternut squash and leek; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir rice into the pot until each grain is coated with the olive oil-vegetable mixture, about 2 minutes. Pour in wine to deglaze and simmer for 3 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth, stirring to scrape the sides of the pot. Simmer for 1 minute.
  • 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 according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in smoked mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Evenly distribute the balsamic vinegar among 4 plates. Spoon equal amounts of risotto onto each plate. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I didn't have any white wine, so I used chicken broth instead. It turned out great!

The risotto was a bit too al dente for my taste. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This risotto is a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.
