Risotto with winter squash

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 cup Finely chopped shallot or onion
1 teaspoon Dried sage leaves
1½ cup Arborio rice
3½ cup Vegetable stock (up to 4)
1 pounds Butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
¼ cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional) or balsamic vinegar to taste
Freshly grated pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Minced fresh parsley

Directions

Heat the oil in the cooker. Cook the shallots over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the sage and rice, stirring to coat the rice with the oil. Stir in 3½ cups of the stock, and then bring to a boil. Add the squash and salt.

Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce the pressure with a quick-release method. Remove the lid, tilting away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.

If the risotto isn't creamy, stir in a bit more stock. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the rice achieves the desired consistency.

Stir in the Parmesean (if using) or vinegar, pepper, and parsley. Serve immediately in shallow soup bowls.
