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.

WILD RICE - PRE-SOAKED - 2-QT. PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• In pressure cooker, pour in water and bring it to a rolling boil.
• Pour in well-drained wild 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 15 minutes and cook for 12 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Let pressure reduce naturally (this will absorb some of the excess water, if any).
• Remove lid. If rice has cooked completely, but water remains, drain off excess water.
• Serve.

• Add the ham stock, beans and bay leaves, and bring to a boil.
• Lock on the lid, and bring to pressure over high heat.
• Turn the heat down to medium, and cook at pressure for 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let the pressure drop.
• Meanwhile, brown the andouille on all sides in a skillet, and cut into chunks.
• Once the pressure has dropped, add the sausage, lock the lid back on, and bring back to pressure.
• Cook at pressure for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, let the pressure drop.
• Serve over white rice, garnished with the green onions or parsley, and hot sauce, if desired.

BROWN RICE - UNSOAKED - 2-QT. PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• In the 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 18 minutes and cook for 18 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Let pressure reduce naturally (this will absorb some of the excess water, if any). If brown rice is fluffy but there is excess water, drain off the excess water.
• 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.)
