Insta Pot Spanish Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup small onion diced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups long-grain rice see notes
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2/3 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter optional

Instructions

  • Place rice in a colander and rinse really well.
  • Turn Instant Pot to saute and let heat up.
  • Once heated, add in oil, onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn Instant Pot OFF.
  • Add in stock and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the inner pot.
  • Add in seasonings and stir well. Add in rice and gently push down with a spoon to submerge in stock. Top with tomato sauce.
  • Place lid on the Instant Pot and be sure vent knob is pointed to sealed.
  • Cook on HIGH pressure for 3 minutes for long-grain white rice, and  22 minutes for long-grain brown rice.
  • Let pressure release naturally all the way.
  • Remove lid and fluff rice with a fork, while stirring in the tomato sauce.
  • Stir in butter if desired and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe works with both long-grain brown and white rice. The measurements remain the same regardless of which variety of rice you use, but the cook time will vary. White rice needs 3 minutes to cook, brown rice needs 22 minutes. 
  • If you don't care for spicy foods, be sure to remove the seeds and ribs from inside the jalapeno and use half a small jalapeno instead of a full jalapeno. If you love spicy foods, keep half the seeds--but be warned, it will be spicy if you happen to get a spicy jalapeno. And of course, you can omit the jalapeno altogether, but I do find that when left out, the rice is nowhere near as flavorful.
