This recipe uses a pressure cooker for frying as well as making the risotto. This avoids the need to stand over it adding stock a bit at a time. Ingredients: 1 Tbsp Butter (optional) 1 Tbsp Olive Oil 1 Large white Onion 3 Garlic Cloves (optional) 175g Short grain rice (any SHORT grain rice will do) 100ml White wine / Martini 600ml Stock Grated hard cheese (50g to 100g dependent on preference) Parmesan, Pecorino or simalar. Seasoning Fry the Onion & Garlic (if used) in the oil (or oil & butter) for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the rice to coat in the remaining oil & stir well for 1 minute. Add the wine & continue to stir until it has reduced by half. Then add the stock & stir well. Season to taste. Seal the pressure cooker & bring to high pressure. Maintain high pressure for 8 minutes then allow to de-pressurize naturally. Stir well as it will look very wet, then stir in the cheese. (you can also add more butter).
