Instant Pot Wild Rice Recipe
Whip up a quick and super healthy side dish with Instant Pot Wild Rice. You only need wild rice, oil or butter, and broth to get this recipe ready in way less time than the traditional method.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice not a blend
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 Tbsp. butter or oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the rice to a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cool running water for 1-2 minutes.
- Combine the rice and the broth or water in a 6-quart Instant Pot. Cover the pot with a lid, ensure the pressure release valve is sealed, and set to high pressure for 28-30 minutes. (28 for a more firm rice, 30 for a softer grain.) Allow a 10-minute natural pressure release.
- If excess liquid remains, add it back to the fine mesh strainer to drain.
Notes
Meal Prep and Storage
- How to prep ahead of time: Wild rice is best when you eat it right after cooking, but you can make it up to one day early if needed.
- How to store: Save leftover wild rice in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
- How to freeze: Place wild rice in a freezer-safe container and keep for up to 3 to 4 months.
- How to reheat: Just like other rice dishes, reheat it in a skillet over medium heat. Add some water or additional oil as needed.
