4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.125 cup chopped onion
  • 0.125 cup chopped carrot
  • 0.125 cup chopped celery
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 2 cups peeled and diced butternut squash
  • 0.5 cup chopped leek
  • 1.5 cups Arborio rice
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups warm vegetable broth
  • 0.5 cup shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
  • 0.75 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (such as Aceto Balsamico di Modena)

Instructions

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Add olive oil, onion, carrot, and celery. Cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary and stir to combine. Add butternut squash and leek; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir rice into the pot until each grain is coated with the olive oil-vegetable mixture, about 2 minutes. Pour in wine to deglaze and simmer for 3 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth, stirring to scrape the sides of the pot. Simmer for 1 minute.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in smoked mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Evenly distribute the balsamic vinegar among 4 plates. Spoon equal amounts of risotto onto each plate. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
