Where to find ingredients
Arroz Cateto is a specific Brazilian short-grain brown rice. You can find it at Brazilian markets, Latin American grocery stores, or specialty health food aisles under the name 'short-grain brown rice'. If unavailable, look for 'short-grain brown rice' at your local supermarket; while the specific Brazilian variety is unique, standard short-grain brown rice serves as a solid substitute.
Preparation method
- Finely dice the onion
- Place the pressure cooker over medium heat, leaving the lid off
- Once the pot is hot, pour in the olive oil and add the diced onion and the bay leaf
- Season with the salt and sauté the onion until it’s nice and soft
- Stir in the Arroz Cateto, mixing well for about 1 minute so every grain is coated in oil
- Pour in the water and give it a quick stir
- Seal the pressure cooker lid tightly and turn the heat up to high
- As soon as the pot starts hissing, turn the heat down to low and let it cook for 15 minutes
- Take it off the heat and wait for all the steam to release naturally before you pop the lid
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork
- Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy
