Description:

Risotto is a classic Italian dish that can be a bit intimidating to make, but with the help of a GM Pot, it becomes a breeze. This creamy risotto recipe is foolproof and delicious, perfect for a cozy night in or for impressing dinner guests. Follow these simple steps to create a velvety, flavorful risotto that will have everyone coming back for seconds.

Ingredients:

1 cup Arborio rice

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1/2 cup white wine

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

Before you start cooking, make sure to have all your ingredients measured out and ready to go. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the Parmesan cheese, and gather the rest of the ingredients near your GM Pot.

2. Sauté Onion and Garlic:

Turn on your GM Pot to the sauté function and add the olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Temperature: High

Time: 2-3 minutes

3. Toast the Rice:

Add the Arborio rice to the GM Pot and stir to coat the grains in the oil, onion, and garlic mixture. Toast the rice for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Temperature: High

Time: 1-2 minutes

4. Deglaze with White Wine:

Pour in the white wine and stir, scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let the wine simmer until it is mostly evaporated, about 1-2 minutes.

Temperature: High

Time: 1-2 minutes

5. Add Broth:

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to combine with the rice. Close the lid of the GM Pot and set it to pressure cook on high for 6 minutes.

Temperature: High

Time: 6 minutes

6. Release Pressure and Stir:

Once the cooking time is up, release the pressure manually and carefully open the lid. Stir the risotto to combine all the ingredients and check the consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more broth or water to loosen it up.

7. Finish with Butter and Parmesan:

Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the creamy risotto hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy this delicious and comforting dish with a glass of white wine or a side salad.
