Notes

There you have it. The simplest and in my opinion restaurant-quality instant pot mushroom risotto. All done with minimal effort and no constant stirring.
My family also enjoy variations of this meal. You could try adding chorizo after the onions or with prawns added at the same time as the spinach.
