Ingredients
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 onion
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups boiling water
1/2 onion
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups boiling water
Where to find ingredients
Find staples like brown rice, olive oil, and aromatics in the dry goods and produce aisles of local food stores and supermarkets in Nassau or major hubs. If whole cloves are unavailable, they can be found in the spice aisle; for a substitute, simply omit the clove and onion-bay leaf assembly if necessary, though they add authentic depth.
Preparation method
- Keep the half onion intact.
- Attach the bay leaf to the onion using the clove as a pin.
- Heat the pressure cooker over medium heat, leaving the lid off.
- Add the olive oil, the onion assembly, and the rice to the pot.
- Season the mixture with the salt.
- Sauté the grains for 1 minute so they are well-coated in the oil.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir thoroughly.
- Seal the pressure cooker and increase the heat to high.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and begins to hiss, lower the heat to a simmer.
- Maintain the cooking process for exactly 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately.
Observations
Using a pressure cooker drastically cuts down the time required to cook brown rice. This method yields a delicious and consistent side dish, preserving the grain's wholesome properties while making meal preparation a breeze for your daily routine.
