Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (about 2 large)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 oz cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
2 cups Progresso™ vegetable broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (2 oz)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach

Steps

1

On 6-quart Instant Pot™, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in insert. Add shallots and garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper flakes; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until mushrooms are softened. Add rice; stir about 1 minute or until rice is coated. Select CANCEL.
2

Add broth to mushroom mixture. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 7 minutes. Select CANCEL. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure.
3

Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the cheese and thyme until blended. Stir in spinach until wilted.

Arborio rice is a variety of short-grained rice used primarily in the classical preparation of risotto. It absorbs more liquid than other types of rice and results in a creamy, rich texture.
Save time by purchasing presliced mushrooms.
