Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or another neutral oil like vegetable or canola)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter ((can use vegan))
  • 2 ½ cups long grain white rice
  • 1 small white onion, (diced (about ½ cup))
  • 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce ((one 8 oz. can, preferably with no added sugar))

Instruction

  • Turn the Instant Pot to the Saute function. Add the avocado oil and butter to the inner pot and once hot, add in the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is golden brown.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook another 2-3 minutes before adding the salt, cumin, and oregano to the pot. Cook 30 seconds just until the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the vegetable broth and tomato sauce to the pot and stir to make sure nothing is stuck on the bottom. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and press the Rice function button or set it for Manual or High for 5 minutes. It will take about 5-10 minutes for it to come to pressure and start the timer.
  • At the end of the cooking time, allow the pressure to come down naturally for 5 minutes before doing a quick release and removing the lid. Fluff with a fork and serve.
