Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
½ teaspoon dried oregano
3 cups chicken broth
¾ cup wild rice
½ cup quick-cooking pearl barley
½ cup frozen peas, thawed
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil and let heat for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, dill, and oregano; cook for 1 minute. Hit Cancel.
  • Stir chicken broth and wild rice into the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 2 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in barley and peas, put the lid back on, and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and let sit until barley is tender and mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.

This pilaf was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pilaf turned out mushy. I think I'll cook the rice and barley separately next time.

This pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This pilaf was easy to make and turned out great! I used brown rice instead of wild rice and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This pilaf was a hit with my family! The wild rice and barley gave it a nutty flavor and chewy texture that we all loved. I also appreciated how easy it was to make in the Instant Pot. I'll definitely be making this again.
