  • 4

    Manually set cooker to 6 minutes and let it come to pressure. Once complete, turn off and quickly release pressure vent, then carefully remove the lid.

    Remove corn cobs and stir in fresh corn, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Topping & Dressing and cheese. Season to taste and garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

    Ingredient Tips:

    Arborio rice: Rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch if you want to control the creaminess level. If you like a creamier risotto, don’t rinse the rice.

    Corn: If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and sauté them for a few minutes to bring out their natural sweetness and caramelization. For a sweet flavor boost, use sweet corn (either fresh, frozen or canned). If you want a smoky flavor, grill or roast the corn beforehand.
