Add 2 tablespoons of butter and some extra virgin olive oil to the pressure cooker and melt.

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes until translucent.

Add 2 cups of arborio rice to the pressure cooker and sauté for 2 minutes.

Prepare 6 cups of homemade stock and add 1 ladle of stock to the rice, stirring until absorbed.

Once the stock is absorbed, add another ladle and repeat the process until all stock is used, stirring constantly.

Roughly chop the soaked dried porcini mushrooms and add them to the rice.

Return the sautéed fresh mushrooms to the pressure cooker.

Combine the soaking liquid from the dried mushrooms with the stock to make just under 6 cups of liquid and add it to the rice, stirring well.

Close the pressure cooker and set the valve to pressure cooking mode, selecting the risotto mode or cooking for 10-12 minutes.

Use the quick release method to release steam after cooking, then switch back to sauté mode.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the risotto, stirring vigorously until creamy.

Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Plate the risotto while hot and creamy, garnishing with curly leaf parsley.
