Equipment
- Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt plus additional to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in the Instant Pot.
- Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. Use the quick release to release the pressure.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If using unsalted broth/stock, you may want to add an extra ½ teaspoon of salt. Or, you can just salt the rice to taste after it's done cooking.
- Wild rice or wild rice blend both work great for this recipe. I used a wild rice blend.
- A good quality stock will result in the best tasting rice.
- I am cooking this rice at about 2000 feet. For anything above 5000 feet, you'll probably want to increase the water 2 tablespoons for every ¼ cup.
- You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in a covered container. Reheat in the microwave. I do not recommend freezing leftover wild rice. It becomes very mushy.
