Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Turn on your Instant Pot and select the sauté function. Melt the vegan butter, then add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the mixed mushrooms and fresh thyme to the pot, stirring frequently. Sauté until the mushrooms are soft and browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Carnaroli rice and continue sautéing for an additional 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.
- Pour in the white wine (or additional broth), scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits. Stir until the wine is mostly absorbed.
- Add the vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper to taste. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 6 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release.
- Open the lid and stir in the miso paste until well combined, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Allow the risotto to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
Proper sautéing and deglazing are key to a flavorful risotto. Use mixed mushrooms for enhanced umami flavor and adjust cooking time for desired texture.
