PRESSURE-COOKER CORN RISOTTO

Pressure-Cooker Corn Risotto image

Corncobs are added to the Instant Pot or pressure cooker at the same time as the rice, creating a broth that infuses the risotto with incomparable corn flavor. Corn kernels are stirred in at the end, along with two other peak-summer ingredients: basil and cherry tomatoes. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Pressure Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).
