Mushroom and Herb Risotto
Earthy, meaty mushrooms and fresh herbs pair perfectly with salty, savory Parmesan cheese and the rich creaminess of risotto. We especially liked this dish made with a combination of fresh mushrooms—a mix of shiitakes and oysters was our favorite—but even basic cremini mushrooms yielded delicious results. You can serve this risotto as a first course or, with a lemony salad alongside, it makes a satisfying light main dish. It also is terrific as an accompaniment to simple roasted or sautéed chicken.

Tip
Don't forget to quick-release the pressure. If the pressure is allowed to release naturally, the rice will overcook and turn mushy and gummy.

Fantastic!
This worked perfectly in a pressure cooker, and yes, once the bobble started bobbling, exactly three minutes was just right.
I think the cooking time, or the water is off in this recipe. My rice had water when I opened the lid. I sauté it for additional 3 minutes. This risotto is good even without balsamic vinegar. I tasted it and decided that it did not need anything else. This recipe is amazing because it takes 3 minutes to cook it with hardly any prep work. I have added 1/4 cup of frozen peas after it was cooked. My family went for seconds but it barely enough for 3 people. Next time, I will add only 1 cup of water. Also, double the recipe if you have more people in your family.
