You can even add cheese to it when it's done. Since it cooks for less time - only five minutes once it gets to high pressure - you save a bit of energy, too. With a pressure cooker, risotto (in all its beautiful variations) becomes a quick easy week night staple. Miri, oh yes – it is way less labor intensive and with no compromise in ingredients or taste.

It's really easy (and cheap), just takes some patience. Let me know how it goes. Stacey, I don't think I've ever tried risotto without parm, which is why I'm so partial to it. Also interesting that you make it in a pressure cooker. Though it's not the traditional way, I'm sure it's less labor-intensive. Glad to know it's easy to make dairy-free! Avigail, You should do it!

I usually grill the zucchini and then add it to the finished risotto, but I think I might try your method with the corn. I do however need to disagree completely with your assertion that you can't have good risotto without parmesan cheese. When the starches in the arborio are allowed to release into enough liquid, they create the creamiest sauce-goo-binding-magic-thing and the broth & vegetables add enough flavor. I make dairy free risotto in a pressure cooker and have received plenty of kudos from friends - most of whom who do eat risotto with butter and cheese. I’ve always zucchini risotto as a summer treat.
