Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 shallots, chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1 butternut squash, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese

Crispy sage

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 sage leaves

Instructions

  • Add butter, garlic, shallots, sage, butternut squash, chicken broth, and rice to Instant Pot in that order. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, then do a quick release of the pressure.
  • Remove lid when safe to do so and stir in parmesan cheese. Divide risotto among four bowls then top each with two crispy sage leaves. Serve and enjoy!

Crispy sage

  • While risotto is cooking, melt butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat and add sage leaves in a single row once butter starts bubbling. Cook for 30 seconds until leaves crisp up, then drain on a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
