Risotto usually means standing over the stove, stirring and adding stock for 20 minutes. With this recipe, your stir time is cut down to two minutes, thanks to the "Sauté" option on your pressure cooker. Green peas bring spring flavor and help with daily fiber needs and nutritionally-rich asparagus adds potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6 and thiamine.
