Wendy, who is hosting, has asked us to prepare something using pecans for National Georgia Pecan Month.
I had some pecans sitting around from another event so that part was easy. Then I spotted the box of unused wild rice in my pantry and knew it was time.
Pecans and nuts go very well with the flavor of wild rice. And further, it pairs perfectly in autumn with foods such as roast turkey, chicken, and also fish.
Having already posted one wild rice recipe using the stovetop, even though it had mushrooms, I decided on the Instant Pot. I knew it had to be a two-part recipe or it wouldn’t work out. Wild rice and long grain rice have wildly different cooking times.
The stuff you get in the box partially cooks the wild rice, as in instant rice, so the rice types arrive at doneness at the same time. We don’t have to dry ours out to put in a box. So after a partial cook of the wild rice, we simply add the long grain and keep going.
I do drape a towel over my pot as the rice rests. This is something I do with a saucepan for stovetop as well. And also with my rice cooker. The few minutes helps the towel draw out steam and makes the rice grains separate nicely. Because nobody likes sticky clumps of wet rice, eh?

Great minds Sue….I know it was scrumptious.
What a beautiful blend of rices. I’ve got a ton of pecans too. I need to make this.
The wild rice and long grin rice have cooked perfectly. Along with the crunch from pecans, this is scrumptious!This sounds amazing and making a point to try soon!
Fantastic blend of rice and pecans, so delicious and nutritious too!
how long for long grain brown rice?
It should take 15 minutes with the brown rice and wild rice together. If i needs a little more, give it another 3-5 with a quick release.
