Ingredients
Method
Add the dried porcini mushrooms to the chicken stock – leave to stand for at least 30 minutes
Heat the oil and butter in your pressure cooker
Once up to heat add the mushroom mix to the pressure cooker and stir fry for 3-5 minutes
Add the onion and garlic and fry for another 5 minutes - stirring occasionally
Add the wine add cook off the alcohol for 1-2 minutes
Add the rice and stir into the mix
Remove the porcini mushrooms from stock and chop down to size if too big then add to the pot
Pour the stock into the pot taking care not to add the sediment at the bottom of the stock – I usually sieve it through a fine sieve
Mix well and then put the pressure cooker lid on
Set pressure to high and cook for 8 minutes
Do a fast release and add 2/3 of the grated parmesan cheese and stir to mix
Put into serving bowl and add remaining cheese to taste
