Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over a medium-high flame. Sauté the shallots and thyme until the shallots start to soften. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and sauté until they start to wilt and darken, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and set aside to steam.
Add the stock and stir to mix. Lock the pressure cooker lid. When the pressure comes up, cook at medium-high pressure for 6 minutes. Use a timer for this or the rice will overcook. Take the cooker off the heat and run cold water over the lid to release the pressure and stop the cooking.
