Ingredients
- 2 cups long grain white rice
- ¼ cup neutral cooking oil vegetable or canola oil, generic cooking oil
- ½ medium onion finely diced
- 1 Roma tomato diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 3 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup peas frozen
Instructions
- Add rice to a fine mesh strainer or colander and rinse under running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- Turn on the saute function on the Instant Pot and set to medium and add the oil to the pot.
- When hot, add the rice and saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice begins to lightly brown.
- Add the onion, tomato, garlic and salt. Stir and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the broth and tomato paste. Stir together to mix until the tomato paste has completely dissolved.
- Turn the Instant Pot off, secure the lid, and turn the valve to the sealed position.
- Turn on Manual or High Pressure, set the pressure valve to the seal position, and pressure cook for 4 minutes. When the time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
- Add the frozen peas and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Don't stir it. Taste and season with more salt if necessary.
