- Heat the pressure cooker over medium heat without the lid.
- Add the olive oil, the prepared onion assembly, and the rice.
- Season with the salt.

- Close the pressure cooker and increase the burner flame.
- Once the pressure cooker comes to pressure and starts to hiss, reduce the heat.
- Continue cooking for 15 minutes.
