Instant Pot Rosé Risotto

Instant Pot Rosé Risotto is a unique rosé wine infused risotto that takes just 6 minutes in your Instant Pot!

There was a time when you’d be teased mercilessly for drinking Rosé, but not anymore. It’s cool now, and I’m glad, because I’ve always been a fan. Rosé wine is actually a red wine, made from red grapes. It’s that beautiful blush pink color because the winemakers only allow the skins to macerate in the juice for a short period. Rosé makes a refreshing cocktail, but it’s a versatile ingredient in other recipes, too. I use it as the base for this unusual rosé risotto.

TIP: Serve this risotto as a side dish rather than a main course ~ it pairs perfectly with any kind of meaty dish like steak, roast beef, pork tenderloin, or lamb. It’s simple and so pretty.

I just got an Instant Pot last week and I’m going crazy with it, so fair warning ~ I’m going to pepper you with Instant Pot recipes in the coming weeks. If you’re not familiar with it, the Instant Pot is a modern version of a classic pressure cooker, updated with lots of convenient features, like the ability to brown food right in the pot. It can be used as a rice cooker, a yogurt maker, and a slow cooker, among other things. Foods that traditionally take many hours to cook are done in a fraction of the time. (I think the Instant Pot is worth it for the risotto alone!)

TIP: This risotto recipe is perfect for the Instant Pot because, through the magic of pressure cooking, you only need 2 cups of wine for one cup of arborio rice. A traditional stove-top recipe would require 6 or more cups of liquid, and that would throw off the flavor balance. Look for a dry Rosé for this dish ~ the rice will absorb the wine as it cooks and the flavor will be concentrated, so you don’t want anything overly sweet.

Safety Note: This recipe is formulated for the Instant Pot. Please don’t try this with stove top pressure cookers as I haven’t tested it on other models. Always follow all safety instructions in your manual, and follow the recipe instructions carefully.

Make it your own ~

• Experiment with other types of wine for this risotto. A nice Chardonnay or Malbec sounds great to me. Again, look for something dry.
• For an extra dose of luxury, stir a few spoonfuls of mascarpone cheese into the finished risotto. Did you know you can MAKE YOUR OWN MASCARPONE CHEESE?
