Ingredients

  • 1-½ cups wild rice blend
  • 1-½ cups water or broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter optional

Instructions

  • Place the rice, water (or broth), and salt in the Instant Pot.
  • Secure the lid and place the valve in the sealed position.
  • Cook on high pressure for 28 minutes.
  • Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes then release the rest of the pressure manually.

Notes

Make sure the ‘keep warm’ setting is turned off. If “keep warm’ is on and you leave the rice sitting too long, it will stick to the bottom of the pot.
