Description

This authentic Spanish rice recipe is a staple in many households, and it's easy to see why. The dish is hearty, filling, and packed with flavor. Traditionally, Spanish rice is cooked in a pot, but for this recipe, we'll be using a pressure cooker to make the process even easier.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is minimal. You'll need to gather your ingredients, chop your vegetables, and rinse your rice. Altogether, this should take no more than 10 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 25 minutes. This includes the time it takes for the pressure cooker to come to pressure and the natural release time.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of long-grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

  • Wooden spoon

Method

  1. Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode and add the olive oil.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and green pepper to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  3. Add the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 30 seconds until the spices become fragrant.
  4. Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any brown bits.
  5. Close the pressure cooker lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  6. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the valve to release any remaining pressure.
  7. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.

Notes

Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot, make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot when you add the rice and chicken broth. Additionally, it's important to allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the valve to release any remaining pressure. This will prevent the rice from becoming mushy. Finally, fluff the rice with a fork before serving to ensure that it's light and fluffy.
