Where to find ingredients
You can source these staples at any local supermarket like Dunnes Stores, Tesco, or SuperValu. Look for long-grain brown rice in the 'Grains and Rice' aisle; ensure the bay leaves and whole cloves are fresh from the spice section for optimal aroma.
Preparation method

- Attach the bay leaf to the onion using the clove as a pin.
- Heat the pressure cooker over medium heat without the lid.
- Add the olive oil, the prepared onion assembly, and the brown rice.
- Season 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 lid and turn the heat up.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and starts whistling, lower the heat.
- Cook for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid.
