By AprilPublished Are you tired of spending hours making risotto on the stove? Do you wish there was an easier way to achieve that creamy, flavorful dish without all the hassle?
Place chicken stock and dried mushrooms (if using) in a microwave-safe container and microwave on high power until simmering, about 5 minutes.
Remove the container from the microwave. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the porcini mushrooms to a cutting board and roughly chop them.
Add fresh mushroom scraps to the container with the porcini-infused stock and set it aside. Alternatively, heat the stock and dried mushrooms (if using) in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat, transfer the porcini to a cutting board, and roughly chop them. Add fresh mushroom scraps to the saucepan and set it aside to infuse.
Heat olive oil and butter in the base of a pressure cooker over high heat until the foaming subsides.
Add fresh mushrooms to the pressure cooker, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until excess moisture has evaporated and mushrooms are well browned, about 8 minutes.
Add onion, garlic, and chopped porcini (if using) to the pressure cooker and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened and aromatic, about 4 minutes.
Add rice to the pressure cooker and cook, stirring, until rice is evenly coated in oil and toasted but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. (Rice grains should start to look translucent around the edges and cloudy in the center, resembling tiny ice cubes.)
