    Cup of Yum
  1. Set Instant Pot to SAUTE. Add the olive oil and onions and cook until translucent. Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add in rice and saute for 2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock then add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir. Pour in tomato sauce but do not stir.
  2. Close lid and turn Instant Pot to Manual or High Pressure and cook for 4 minutes. When the timer beeps, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, quick release remaining pressure. Carefully, remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Rinse your rice before adding it to the Instant Pot. This removes starch which can make your rice clumpy and sticky.
  • Saute the rice before adding the stock. This helps to get a richer and toastier flavor.
  • Let your Instant Pot naturally release pressure. If you quick release, the rice won't be fully cooked.
