Instant Pot Spanish Rice

Servings: 6
Author: Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dry brown rice
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine ground sea salt
  • pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, optional
  • 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, optional
  • sour cream, for serving
  • sugar free salsa, for serving

Instructions

  • In order, add the brown rice, vegetable broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt and cinnamon to your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Do not stir. 
  • Place the lid on the pot. Make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position.
  • Using the display panel select the MULTIGRAIN or PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL function (HIGH PRESSURE). Use the +/- buttons to program the pot to 28 minutes.
  • When the time is up open the vent valve to quickly release the pressure. You can serve the rice at this point or you can transfer it to a 2qt. casserole dish. Sprinkle the top with the cheese and jalapeños and broil it in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired. 

Notes

Note: If we're going to eat this as a meal I add 1 pound of cooked ground meat or turkey seasoned with taco seasoning.
