Stir in stock. Lock on lid, making sure steam-release valve is in the proper sealed position. Select "Manual" and program for 5 minutes at high pressure (it will take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build before cooking automatically begins).

INSTANT POT MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Add the mushrooms, garlic, leeks, thyme, 6 tablespoons of the butter, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Set the pot to high saute (see Cook's Note) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have reduced in volume and are beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is opaque but not browning, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the wine has been absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.

• Meanwhile, heat up more olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms, garlic salt, and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are tender and have released their juices, about 5 minutes.

MUSHROOM RISOTTO (INSTANT POT)

Steps:

• Heat Olive Oil in the Instant Pot or a large skillet over medium heat. Add Shallot/Onion and Garlic, cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes.
• OPTIONAL: Drizzle in Truffle Oil. Season again with salt and pepper.
• Add the Mushrooms, Herbs and Butter. Saute for about 10 minutes until lightly browned, season with salt and pepper. NOTE: I did this step in a large skillet because it's a lot of mushrooms and it would have taken longer to do in the Instant Pot due to lack of surface area). Move ingredients to the Instant Pot at any step after this.
• Add Rice and mix around for a few minutes until it appears clear on the outside and white on the inside.
• Add Broth and White Wine. Stir. NOTE: You can stop at this point and cook later if you want. Since Rice will soak in some liquid before cooking, 5 minutes in the next step will give you "soft" Risotto.
• Pressure Cook for 5 minutes (al dente) to 7 minutes (softer). This step will take about 10 minutes to warm up the pot, then cook. The release pressure and wait until pressure valve pops down.
• Open lid, stir in Parmesan Cheese, create individual servings (if you want), drizzle with Truffle Oil, and sprinkle with Italian parsley before serving.
• NOTE: All dairy products mentioned were vegan (Miyoko butter, Follow Your Heart or Violife Parmesan)
• NOTE: I didn't add Truffle Oil and it was still outstanding.
