This recipe came out perfect! I had tried another Cooking Light risotto pressure cooker recipe (from May 2004) and it came out soupy and very bland tasting. I tried this one, adding 1 ounce dried mushrooms and about 1 teaspoon of dried minced garlic, and served it with spinach sauteed in garlic. I recommend this as a great, quick way to make a tasty risotto!04/27/04
