I used this method to make polenta for dinner last night. Anyone heard of it? You put in the inner pot of a 3qt on a trivet in a 6 qt pressure cooker. You add water to the main pot, then seal it up to cook. It was very successful !!  The polenta was so creamy and smooth. I used mushroom broth in it and then cooked up ******ake and portabella mushrooms in red wine as a topping for the polenta. Had grilled chicken and roasted zucchini slices---along with more cherries--I subscribe to  Amy+Jacky--a pressure cooker recipes site and that recipe came from them.

@wagirl How long did you pressure it and was the rice to water ration 2 water/1 rice or something else?  I have everything to do this!

@Sooner ---here is is----Now this is not rice---it is polenta---

2 cups water into 6 qt insert along with a trivet--put the 3 qt insert inside

In the 3 qt insert---

4 cups water or stock

1 cup coarsely ground polenta, not quick cooking--

then closed it up and set on pressure cook for 15 minutes with a 15 minute natural release. 

After release,  polenta maybe a little watery, so stir it for a bit --add  a couple tablespoons of butter, some salt, if needed --and then parm cheese--about 1/2- 1 cup and stir again. 

I only made half the recipe--hate making a whole one and then it being awful. Next time I will do the whole recipe. I used mushroom, better than bouillion, so no salt was needed. I did add a splash of oatmilk at the end just for flavor. DD can't do dairy so must watch that. I used her margarine instead of butter but did use parm cheese,  and some parsley and black pepper.

@wagirl,
In halving this recipe, did you adjust the amount of water in the insert and the pressure cook time? The meal you prepared was divine!!!

[wagirl]

@vabreeze ---No--- all that stayed the same. It was a very good meal!! There was just a little polenta left and DD ate it the next a.m. Usually if we have some left I make polenta patties and then put a soft egg over top---that is an amzing breakfast!!
