Ingredients

  • =
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped leeks or onions
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine, dry vermouth, or dry sherry
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp. salt or to taste
  • 10-oz. pkg. frozen small green peas (rinse away any ice crystals)
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more to pass at the table
  • 2 tsp. good quality balsamic vinegar, plus more to taste (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • =

Directions

1

Heat oil in pressure cooker over medium-high. When it begins to foam, add leeks and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in rice and coat grains with oil. Add wine and cook over high heat, stirring, until it evaporates, about 1 minute. Add broth and salt.

2

Lock lid in place. Over high heat bring to high pressure. Lower heat to maintain high pressure and cook 5 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.

3

Boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still chewy, and risotto becomes creamy and thick, 5 to 6 minutes. During the final minute, stir in the peas and Parmesan. Add balsamic vinegar, if desired, to bring up flavors. Let sit 5 minutes to absorb excess liquid.

4

Spoon risotto into large shallow bowls and sprinkle with a few twists of black pepper. Pass extra Parmesan at the table.
