Method
In the pressure cooker pan, sauté the onion and the chopped pancetta in the plain olive oil for a bit; to make the meal vegetarian, simply don't bother with the pancetta. Add the rice, and fry for a bit more.Add the wine and the saffron, and boil to reduce for a bit. Add the water, the stock cube, and some salt and pepper. Put the lid on the pressure cooker, bring it to pressure, and then cook for 7 minutes.
Open the lid and see how moist it's looking - if it's getting quite dry, add some more wine. Break up a load of mushrooms into it, grate a load of parmesan cheese into it, and add a big blob of butter, the extra virgin olive oil, and stir all that together. Put the lid back on, bring back to pressure, and cook for a further two minutes.
See how moist it is now - hopefully it'll be just right; if it's still too wet just boil off a bit with the lid open. Tear up some fresh basil and stir into it, and serve.
