Instructions

Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil in the bottom of the pressure cooker. Add 1 cup wild rice, then 1 ¼ cup water.
Put the lid on the pressure cooker and seal the pressure valve. Cook on HIGH pressure for 30 minutes.
Once the timer has reached 0, allow for a 10 minute natural pressure release. When the 10 minutes is up, use a Quick Release to release any remaining pressure.

Notes

Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only. Recipe was made using an 8 quart pot.
Use dry, uncooked wild rice. Use only pure wild rice with this method. Rice blends that include wild rice may cook at a different pressure level/time.
This is to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. It is purely precautionary and can be omitted if desired.
Any temperature is fine. You can also use broth to add some extra flavor.
For an even more flavorful dish, you can cook your rice in chicken broth or beef broth instead of water. This will give a delicious umami flavor to your grain! Use the same amount of liquid and cook time as in the recipe.
I love Instant Pot Wild Rice best served with a pat of butter and some salt.
Make sure to rinse your rice before cooking!
Please note, this recipe will work in
any
pressure cooker. I also have a Zavor LUX Pressure Cooker, and it works in that brand as well.
If your rice is not done when you open the lid, simply put the lid back on, seal, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, depending on desired texture.
You can also add more water if desired. It will not change how the rice cooks, just drain out the water when the rice has finished cooking.
