Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1½ cups brown rice
- 1½ cups red rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Rinse brown and red rice in a sieve with cold water until water runs clear.
- Combine water, oil, and rice in the inner pot. Be sure the rice is submerged for even cooking.
- Close and lock the lid. Select PRESSURE COOK and HIGH PRESSURE for 18 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build before the timer starts.
- Allow steam to naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick release any residual pressure before removing the lid.
- Gently fluff the rice and serve warm.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 6 months.
Notes
Sometime when you release the pressure starchy foods like rice cause sputter from the pressure valve. The oil helps to stop splatter and avoid a potentially dangerous mess.
For more variety build up the flavor by replacing the water with broth.
