Cuisine Mexican

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)

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.
