Step 1
Start by turning on your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Toss in the bacon and cook it until it’s nice and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Once done, take the bacon out and let it drain on a rack or paper towels. Next, add the shallot and garlic to the pot and sauté until you can really smell their aroma, around 2 minutes. Pour in a cup of chicken stock to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits. Then stir in the corn, rice, and butter. Add the remaining chicken stock along with the white wine. Turn off the sauté function.

Step 2
Close the lid and lock it in place. Set your pressure cooker to high pressure for 5 minutes—remember, it might take a bit of time for the pressure to build. While the risotto cooks, chop up the bacon you set aside earlier.

Step 3
When the timer goes off, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. Once the lid is off, stir in the chopped bacon, Parmesan, oregano, granulated garlic, and a pinch of salt. If the risotto feels a little dry, just add chicken stock a tablespoon at a time until it’s creamy and just how you like it.

How to serve
Serve alongside grilled chicken or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives adds a nice pop of color and freshness. This dish also pairs well with a simple green salad and a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or broth to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change once thawed.
