I took a recipe I had been working on for risotto and adapted it for the Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. It really turned out delicious. I cooked the whole thing in the pressure cooker and it took much less time than it would cooking risotto in the usual way. This is a complete meal with a nice salad or it can be a nice side dish with a big meal.
