Instant Pot Vegan Brown Rice and Mushroom Risotto

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Vegan Brown Rice and Mushroom Risotto.

1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and drizzle in some olive oil to get things warming up.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the sliced cremini mushrooms, minced shallot, and short-grain brown rice.

3. Step 3

   Sauté everything together for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots turn a lovely translucent color and the rice takes on a hint of toastiness.
