Bonus Recipe -- Pressure Cooker Mexican Rice

[TurtleMama]

I figured that I would be depressed if I had a refried bean recipe but no Mexican rice recipe, so here ya go...

 

Authentic Mexican Rice from the Pressure Cooker

 

Ingredients:

3-4 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil

2 cups white rice (you can use long grain or basmati), unrinsed

1 finely chopped onion

3 cups water

3 teaspoons chicken boullion or base

1/2 of a 15-oz can of diced tomatoes -- fire roasted are great but regular work too, and are cheaper

1 tablespoon Spice Hunter Roasted Garlic http://www.spicehunter.com/products.asp?id=6

1 tablespoon Spice Hunter Mexican Seasoning http://www.spicehunter.com/products.asp?id=2&page=2

 

In a five liter (preferably waffle bottom) pressure cooker, saute the onion and rice together in the oil until rice starts turning golden.

 

In an at least 4-cup measuring cup, mix the chicken boullion with water; add the tomatoes and continue to add enough water to make 4 cups of liquid mixture.

 

Add the broth mixture and seasonings to rice mixture. Bring to a boil, pop on your pressure lid, and pressure for about five minutes at the second red ring (15 pounds of pressure). Let pressure drop on its own, stir to blend, and serve.

 

Alternatively, you can make this in a saucepan: bring to a boil over medium-hi heat, drop to a simmer, and cook on low until water is gone and rice is tender, 10-20 minutes.

 

ENJOY!
