Step 1

Set the electric pressure cooker to sauté and melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add the onion and cook, stirring until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Stir in the arborio rice and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it has evaporated, about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the broth and saffron, cover, and set the electric pressure cooker for 5 minutes on high pressure. It will take a couple of minutes for it to come to pressure.

Step 4

When the 5 minutes is up, immediately release the pressure. Carefully open the lid, stir in the cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper, then serve topped with extra cheese.
