  2. Add the rice and cook for about 1 minute to coat, then add the vegetable stock and thyme.
  3. Turn the instant pot OFF and cover and lock the lid into place, turn the vent to LOCK or SEALING and set it to MANUAL with a cook time of 35 minutes or BROWN RICE setting with a cook time of 35 minutes.
  4. It will take about 15minutes to create pressure in the pot and then it will alert you with ring tone and it will then start to count down the cook time.
  5. Once the time is up you will be alerted, then you can turn the Instant Pot OFF and carefully vent the steam (be sure to cover your hand with an oven mitt to be safe from steam) once the steam is fully vented you can open the lid, stir the risotto and then add the lemon zest, juice, Parmesan cheese and season with salt & pepper.
