What’s In This No-Stir Instant Pot Vegetable Risotto Recipe?

I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market  – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!

• Fresh or Frozen Vegetables: I used a combination of onions, kale, peas, zucchini, and green onion.  But this recipe is versatile and you can swap in any veggies you love!
• Arborio Rice: classic risotto rice. It’s a thick short rice that soaks up a LOT of liquid, making the risotto super creamy without adding any dairy. Make sure you use classic arborio rice for this recipe, jasmine or basmati won’t work.
• Herbs and Spices: I love the bright savory flavor of Herbs de Provence, so I added some in this dish to make the risotto shine!  Fresh parsley also gives this risotto a wonderful brightness and herby finish.
• Reduced Sodium Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this Better than Bouillon Vegetable Base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine.  You can always add salt to a recipe if it needs it, but it’s almost impossible to take it out!  Start with a low sodium broth or bouillon, and add more salt later if needed.
• Lemon: a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end of this recipe brings out the bright fresh flavors.
• Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.  It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
• Tellicherry Black Pepper: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper.  This pepper is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor!  I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.

Instant Pot for the Easiest Meal Prep Risotto Ever!

For all my recipes I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, its larger than the standard models (which are only 6 quart) so I have extra room to meal prep and batch cook more meals for the week. The Ultra model also has some great extra settings like cake baking and yogurt making which are really neat. I love that everything can cook in one pot, which makes for way less dishes and hands-off cooking. The Instant Pot is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance, and actually makes my life so much easier.

How Do I Make This Gluten Free Vegan Instant Pot Risotto Recipe?

1. To the Instant Pot, add the arborio rice, onion, garlic, zucchini, kale, peas, Vegetable stock, Herbes de Provence, and the salt.  Stir well to combine all ingredients together.
2. Seal the lid in the instant pot and set to Pressure Cook or Manual mode for 7 minutes.
3. Quick release the pressure taking care not to have your hands or face near the steam vent.
4. Once float valve has gone down, remove the Instant Pot lid and stir in the green onions and the lemon juice.  Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast, add a slice of crusty bread, and enjoy!
