Variations & Notes:

  • It’s also great if you saute a chopped onion in the olive oil for 5-7 minutes before adding the rice, and then add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, before adding the rice.
  • Try adding 1/4-1/2 cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • If you are doubling this recipe, use 4 cups of rice, 5 cups of water or broth, and pressure cook for 26 minutes.
