4.6
(5)

Making wild rice with an Instant Pot enriches and intensifies the flavor of the stock and herbs. Wild rice is firm on the outside and soft in the middle, and its texture blends nicely with softer brown rice. This is a tasty side dish for chicken, turkey, pork, and fish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the sauté function. Heat olive oil until hot, then add mushrooms, onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook, occasionally stirring, until vegetables soften, about 3 minutes. Turn the pressure cooker off.
