Ingredients:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup pancetta, diced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and let it toast for about a minute, soaking up all those glorious flavors.
- If you’re using wine, pour it in now, allowing it to reduce while stirring. This adds a depth that takes the dish to another level.
- Next, dissolve the saffron threads in a small amount of the warm broth, then add both the broth and the saffron to the pressure cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
- Seal your pressure cooker and cook on high for about 5 minutes. Once done, allow it to naturally release for another 10 minutes before carefully opening it up.
