Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto with Spinach, Manchego Cheese and Cilantro Lime Crema
Here is another amazing Instant Pot Risotto Recipe! I have said this before in my first Instant Pot Risotto post, but I will keep saying this – the Instant Pot makes perfect Risotto (without all the mixing)! If you are a risotto lover, then you should get an Instant Pot ASAP! I LOVE mushrooms, but unfortunately, Jimmy does NOT. He was away for the night, so I had to do dinner on my own, which was my chance to make something with mushrooms! This mushroom Instant Pot Risotto Recipe is inspired by flavors from one of my favorite Philadelphia chefs Jose Garces – in 2 of his restaurants (Amada and Distrito), he has amazing mushroom flatbreads! With these mushroom flatbreads on my mind, I whipped up this delicious Instant Pot Risotto Recipe!

This risotto is delicious without the toppings, but if you like to have fun with toppings, go for it! The truffle oil really makes all the flavors pop!
