Wild Rice is one of my favorite foods, but I don’t use it very often because it takes SO long to cook. Not anymore. Instant Pot Wild Rice cuts the cook time down AND produces the very best wild rice that I’ve ever had.

Instant Pot Wild Rice

Wild rice can either be really really amazing, or resemble something that on a good day looks (and tastes) like dog food. You know what I’m talking about. It is kind of hard to get it just right sometimes. Or maybe I’m just really particular about the texture of this awesome staple that can be found in any Minnesota kitchen worth its salt.

Either way, you never have to make it another way ever again because I’ve found the VERY best way that there ever was. (Or close to it. You know. Same thing.)

It doesn’t get easier than this. Pour “rice” into the Instant Pot, pour broth into the Instant Pot. Close lid. Set 15 minutes. Release pressure, open and enjoy.

I need this stuff on hand because it makes such a great addition to soups, bread, stuffing, and salads. Stay tuned later this week on the blog because you’ll be getting my new favorite soup, Minnesota Wild Rice Hotdish Soup. Creamy, dreamy, comfort food, in soup form, and any Minnesota grandma would love a big bowl of this.

I also use this rice in my Corn & Potato Chowder recipe, and it would be perfect in the Beef & Wild Rice Stuffed Zucchini too.

Ingredients

• 1 cup wild rice, {fancy grade. NOT quick cooking, par cooked, or the cracked stuff.}
• 4 cups chicken stock or broth

Instructions

1. Place wild rice and stock into the Instant Pot. Close the lid and set to Manual, high pressure, for 15 minutes. 
2. NPR (natural pressure release) for 10 minutes, and then vent remaining steam. 
3. Open and serve! If there is a bit of extra water, drain it. Keep to add to soups, stews, breads, pancakes, or to make into a hotdish or casserole. 

Notes

Don't use "cracked" wild rice in this, or anything that is "quick cooked" or "par cooked". I haven't tested with those kinds of rice.
