saffron risotto in the pressure cooker

saffron risotto in the pressure cooker
  • 1 pinch saffron
  • 1/3 cup hot water
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3 1/4 cups boiling vegetable stock
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste


  1. Soak saffron threads in hot water in a bowl.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a pressure cooker over low heat. Cook and stir shallot until soft, about 3 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir for a few minutes until rice has absorbed butter and is toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine and allow alcohol to cook off, about 1 minute. Add boiling stock all at once and stir. Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to manufacturer's instructions. Increase heat to high. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow and makes a whistling sound. Reduce heat to low and cook for 4 minutes.
  3. Remove cooker from heat and release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Carefully open once pressure is completely released and stir well. Stir in saffron, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  4. Let risotto rest for 3 minutes in order to expand, soak up the stock, and absorb flavor. Serve in warmed bowls with extra grated Parmesan cheese.
