Equipment

Ingredients

1 medium yellow onion, chopped
5 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
5 medium celery stalks, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 cup wild rice, or wild rice an brown rice blend
4 cups water
Fine sea salt
1/2 cup canned full fat coconut milk
Black pepper

Instructions

Stir together the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, mushrooms, thyme, sage, rice, 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt in the Instant Pot. Add the cover and lock in place with the steam release valve in the "Sealing" position.
Cook on HIGH pressured for 25 minutes.
Once the cooking completes, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before moving the steam release valve to the "Venting" position and release any remaining steam. After all pressure is released and the float valve drops, unlock and remove the lid.
Stir in the coconut milk. Season to taste with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.
Divide the stew evenly between 6 bowls and serve.
Store any leftover stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

4 PointsPlus (Old plan)

Feel free to use only wild rice or a combination of wild rice and brown rice in this recipe. Wild rice has fewer carbs and more protein than brown rice, but may not be available in all areas. Lundberg, RiceSelect, 365 and Bob's Red Mill all make a wild rice and brown rice blend.

In making this stew, I simply combined 1/2 cup wild rice and 1/2 cup long grain brown rice that I had in my pantry.
