Pressure Cooker Butternut Squash and Apple Risotto

(2)

No stirring required here. Simply toast the grains, add the liquid and squash, and let your pressure cooker do the work. Hint: If you heat the broth in the microwave while you sauté the rice, your cooker will come to pressure in even less time.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

  • 3 cup vegetable broth

  • 2 ½ cup chopped, peeled butternut squash

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

  1. Place a 6-qt. multifunction electric pressure cooker on Sauté setting. Add oil. When oil is hot, add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Add rice and sage; cook and stir 1 minute more. Carefully stir in wine; cook until wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in broth and squash.
