Easy Instant Pot Seasoned Rice

Easy Instant Pot Seasoned Rice

Easy instant pot seasoned rice is the perfect side or main dish. It tastes delicious and will most likely make everyone in the family happy! My kids love this recipe! It also takes about 30 minutes prep to finish and most of that time is hands off. It can also be made with white or brown rice.

What you need

Serves 6 -8 people

2 cups rice (any rice will work, if you do brown rice add 1 cup additional stock)

4 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock

2 tablespoons butter

5 cloves of garlic – peeled, whole

1 whole onion chopped in half

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Add the rice, stock, butter, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. If using an electric pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 12 minutes with a natural release or if using an instant pot cook on rice setting, cook times should be the same or very similar.

When you open the pot the onion and garlic should be relatively close to the surface, remove them the best you can then fluff the rice and serve. If you by chance still have a little extra liquid in your pot. Set on the browning or sauté setting and let the liquid evaporate for a minute or 2.
