Looking for a vegan dish that doesn't taste like it's missing anything? We've got it right here. This Instant Pot vegan risotto is creamy and perfectly cooked with a slight "bite" to it. The lemon is subtle yet bright, and the mushrooms and stock add a great savory flavor. There's no reason to stand over a pot to make risotto—this is the best way to cook risotto now, and one of the best ways to use an Instant Pot. We used Imagine Vegan Chicken Broth, which resembled chicken broth more than vegetable broth and is ready available at Whole Foods and other health food stores.
