Instant Pot Creamy Mushroom Orzo

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Creamy Mushroom Orzo.

1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and melting a generous pat of butter.

2. Step 2

   As the butter sizzles, add in the minced garlic and let it sauté for about a minute, just until it becomes fragrant and fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.

3. Step 3

   Next, stir in the orzo along with 1 and a half cups of chicken stock, making sure everything is well combined.

4. Step 4

   Once that’s done, cancel the 'Sauté' function, close the lid, and lock it securely in place.

5. Step 5

   Now, select 'High Pressure' and set the timer for 6 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Don’t forget to allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up—this is where the magic begins! When the timer goes off, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, which should take around 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once the pressure is released, unlock and remove the lid, and add in the sliced mushrooms.

8. Step 8

   Switch back to 'Sauté' mode to bring everything back to life.

9. Step 9

   Now, stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and rosemary, letting those flavors meld beautifully.

10. Step 10

    Gradually pour in the remaining half cup of chicken stock, one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously until your orzotto reaches that perfect creamy consistency—this should take about 3 minutes.
