Servings: 4
Equipment
- Pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 1 c brown rice, uncooked
- 1½ c water or low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 lime, juiced and zested
- ½ c fresh cilantro, chopped
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine brown rice and water in the pressure cooker. Seal the lid of the pressure cooker and check that the vent valve is at the "not venting" position. Adjust the pressure cooker settings by selecting "Pressure Cook" and set the timer for 22 minutes. Make sure that the pressure cooker is on the "high" pressure cook setting. The pressure cooker will chime once it starts to pressurize. It may take several minutes to pressurize, at which point the timer will begin to count down from 22 minutes.
- Once the timer reaches 0 minutes, it will chime again. Allow the pressure cooker to naturally vent for 5 minutes, before moving the vent valve to "venting" position. Let all steam vent out before opening the lid. Fluff the rice with a fork.
- Stir in lime juice, lime zest, salt, pepper, and fresh cilantro. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
