Instant Pot Wild Rice (Fast, Tender, No Soaking!)

Step 1

Add wild rice and water (or vegetable broth) to the Instant Pot and stir to prevent sticking. Pressure cook on high for 28-30 minutes (28 minutes for more firm — perfect for adding to soups — 30 for more tender // it will take about 8 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize before cooking begins).

Step 2

Once the timer goes off, allow to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove lid once steam has fully escaped.

Step 3

Enjoy immediately in soups, stews, stuffed mushrooms, salads, or as a side. Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet on the stovetop, adding oil or coconut aminos, as needed, to prevent sticking.
