Wild Rice In The Pressure Cooker Recipes

WILD RICE IN THE PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Place water and rice in a pressure cooker and secure lid.
• Heat to high pressure over high heat; reduce heat to medium, but maintain pressure.
• Cook 30 minutes; remove from heat, release pressure, then remove lid and drain.

PRESSURE-COOKER VEGETABLE WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 20 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure., Discard bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. If desired, serve with additional thyme. Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth if necessary.

WILD RICE - UNSOAKED - 2-QT. PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• In pressure cooker, pour in water and bring it to a rolling boil.
• Pour in well-drained rice, stir well.
• Secure lid, and bring to LOW pressure (8 psi, 1 bar). Once pot has reached low pressure, adjust heat to stabilize at low pressure. (My stove runs hot for a simmer, so sometimes I stack an extra burner grate or I press the steam valve of my Kuhn Rikon p.c. lid with a wooden spoon to keep the pressure at 1 bar.) Once low pressure has been reached, begin timing for 25 minutes and cook for 25 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Let pressure reduce naturally (this will absorb some of the excess water, if any).
• Remove lid and serve.

PRESSURE COOKER MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Turn on the sauté setting on a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker. Melt the butter, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and shrunk a bit, about 8 minutes. Add the celery, carrot, chopped garlic, thyme, garlic powder and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine. Add the flour and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated and no white spots remain.
• Pour in the stock and wine, and turn off the heat. Scrape the bottom of the pot very well to incorporate flour and any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom. (This will add flavor and also prevent a burn warning later.) Stir in the wild rice.
• Cook on high pressure for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pressure reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually.
• Stir the soup and check the texture of the wild rice; if it needs a bit more time repeat the pressure cooking process for a cook time of 2 minutes and rapidly release the pressure. Check the texture of the soup; if you'd like it to be thicker, turn on the sauté function and let the soup simmer to reduce to desired consistency. Turn off the heat.
• Put the sour cream in a small bowl and slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of warm soup until smooth, then stir the mixture into the soup. (This prevents the sour cream from separating.) Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the soup in bowls topped with chopped scallions or chives and dill. Reheat any leftovers on low until warm. (Boiling can cause the sour cream to break.)

PRESSURE COOKER WILD RICE RECIPE - (4/5)

Adjust heat to medium or level needed to maintain pressure; cook 30 minutes (for stove top pc's - electric ones you "set and forget." Remove from heat; release pressure through steam vent, or place cooker under cold running water to release pressure (use running water ONLY with the stove top pc's). Remove lid; drain any excess liquid.
