Ingredients
- 2 cups long grain white rice
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 white onion diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 3 Tablespoons cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly in a colander.
- Turn the instant pot to the sauté setting and add in the butter. Heat until melted.
- Add in the onion and sauté for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic. Turn the instant pot off.
- Stir in the chicken broth and make sure to scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the instant pot insert.
- Stir in the rice and seasonings. Make sure that the rice is covered in the broth (press it down if needed).
- Pour the tomato sauce on top but do not mix in.
- Seal the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
- After the cooking time, allow the pressure to release from the instant pot naturally for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, move the knob on the instant pot lid from the sealing to the venting position to release the remaining pressure from the instant pot.
- Let the rice sit for 5-10 minutes. Then fluff the rice with a fork.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro, serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use oil instead of butter if you prefer. Vegetable broth or water can be used instead of chicken broth, but I find that chicken broth adds the most flavor.
- Refrigerate any leftover rice in an airtight container for up to 5 days or you can freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months.
- This recipe can be made with brown rice if you prefer. If using brown rice, cook on high pressure for 22 minutes instead of 3 minutes.
