- Turn on the Instant Pot to saute mode and melt the unsalted butter.
- Add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic clove to the pot and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing position.
- Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes using the manual setting.

- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the creamy farro risotto hot, garnished with extra parmesan if desired.
