Portobello Mushroom Risotto (pressure cooker)

You'll never go back to the stove top method once you've tried this pressure cooker Portobello Mushroom Risotto. The mushrooms are sautéed down with lots of garlic and onions. Once this reaches pressure, it cooks in a quick 5 minutes. On days when you have zero time for dinner but want a nice meal, this does the trick.

Years back, when I worked in professional kitchens, risotto was one of my jobs. We would make huge batches and I would have to stand there, stirring over a hot stove for about 30 minute. This method tastes just as good with a fraction of the effort. Time better spent prepping something else!

I like to add some young green peas to mine for the color and a little bit of sweetness. A little surprise ingredient used in our Portobello Mushroom Risotto is some Dark Soy Sauce. This is totally optional but I love the color it gives to the dish.
