Instant Pot Barley & Butternut Squash Risotto

12/06/2019 by familyplates

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Instant Pot Barley & Butternut Squash Risotto is simply prepared within the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Since the Instant Pot is so versatile we are able to saute the thinly sliced shallot, garlic & minced sage until the whole kitchen smells beautifully. The next step is just as simple adding in the cubed Butternut Squash, Barley and Stock. Then, just lock the lid and cook for 7 minutes. The voilà, you have yourself some steaminly delicious Risotto that didn't just take you 3-½ hours in a slow-cooker.

Our oldest daughter just kept saying "daddy, this is really good. Would you please make this for my lunch in the morning." My wife and I looked at each other and just knew this was going to be a favorite.
