Type: Rice
Courses: Side dish
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil
2 tablespoons 30mlUnsalted butter
1 tablespoon 15mlOnion - chopped (medium)
1   Garlic clove - peeled, minced
1 1/2 cups 240g / 8.5ozLong-grain rice
2 1/2 cups 592mlRich chicken stock, rich beef stock, or
  Rich vegetable stock, or canned broth

Recipe Instructions

Heat the olive oil and butter in a 2 1/2-quart or larger pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute 4 to 5 minutes, or until soft. Stir frequently so that the onion does not brown.

Add the garlic and rice. Saute, stirring constantly 3 to 4 minutes, or until the rice just begins to turn golden. Add the stock and stir well.

Place the lid on the cooker and lock in place. Raise the heat to high and bring to medium (1st red ring) pressure. Adjust the heat to stabilize the pressure (at the 1st red ring) and cook 6 minutes.

Remove from the heat and lower the pressure using the Cold Water Release Method.

Open the pressure cooker. Set the lid on the pressure cooker and let the rice sit 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
