WILD RICE - UNSOAKED - 2-QT. PRESSURE COOKER
Plain wild rice, from Kuhn Rikon's instruction manual (15 psi cooker), when you don't have time to presoak the wild rice. Kuhn Rikon strongly believes that rice and grains should be cooked at LOW pressure (8 psi). If you increase the amount of wild rice, be sure you don't fill the cooker past the 1/2 mark. I created a separate recipe for presoaked wild rice due to the different rice:water and cooking time.

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
This comforting soup tastes long-simmered, but it's cooked in a pressure cooker, which makes it a weeknight possibility (though you could also make this recipe in a slow cooker). Use any variety of mushrooms you like: Cremini (also called baby bella) are affordable and easy to find and work well, or you can add shiitake or oyster mushrooms for a mix of texture and flavors. Don't worry about removing small, supple stems, but discard any that are tough or dried-out. Wild rice isn't a true rice at all but the seed of a grass that's native to North America. When it's cooked, it should be pleasantly chewy and nutty, not hard, and most of the grains should be slightly split open to reveal their creamy insides.

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.)

Steps:

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.
Tips:
- Use a good quality wild rice. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your dish.
- Rinse the wild rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use the right amount of water. Too much water will make the rice mushy, while too little water will make it dry and hard.
- Cook the rice for the correct amount of time. Overcooked rice will be mushy, while undercooked rice will be hard and chewy.
- Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and will make it more flavorful.
- Experiment with different seasonings. Wild rice has a mild flavor, so it can be easily seasoned to your liking.
Conclusion:
Cooking wild rice in a pressure cooker is a quick, easy, and foolproof method. By following these tips, you can make perfect wild rice every time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give wild rice a try!
