Mexican Rice
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot (IP) or pot to cook rice on stove
Ingredients
- 2 cups long grain white rice
- 4 tbs oil (vegetable or canola)
- 1/2 medium onion
- 2 tsp tomato bouillon (they have some without MSG), this is already salty so no need to add extra salt
- 2 cups water
- 2 tsp tomato paste (alternative is ketchup in a pinch)
Instructions
- Using IP, heat the pot with 2 tbs oil and add the onions and saute for 1 minute.
- Add the dry white rice and stir into the onions to get the rice lightly toasted, adding remaining 2 tbs oil and stir for another minute.
- Turn IP off, add the tomato bouillon and tomato paste and stir to coat the rice. This will be a dry mixture or "rub" for the rice and stir for another minute.
- Add water and cook on "Rice" on IP (about 12 minutes), with sealed IP.
- Optional: once rice is cooked, you can stir in defrosted/warmed frozen peas and carrots.
