I have just got my hands on a jar of Patty’s Peppers (Uncle Joe’s Original Recipe – Sweet Heat) and a lot of Collard Greens showed up in my organic produce delivery from MistfitsMarket. When I tasted the peppers, I instantly thought that these peppers would taste great with the collards in a Vegetarian Risotto! And OMG – Amazing! With the Instant Pot, you can enjoy Vegetarian Risotto without all the stirring! I also can’t wait to make more recipes with these delicious peppers!

I don’t have an instapot so had to modify slightly and blanched and removed all the water from the greens first before cooking the risotto but it came delicious! Love this recipe and can’t wait to try some more from your site!
