Instant Pot Wild Rice with Mushrooms

Making wild rice with an Instant Pot enriches and intensifies the flavor of the stock and herbs. Wild rice is firm on the outside, soft in the middle, and its texture blends nicely with softer brown rice. This is a tasty side dish for chicken, turkey, pork, and fish.
