Where to find ingredients
Short-grain brown rice (often found as 'brown rice' or 'whole grain rice') can be purchased at local food markets or supermarkets in the grain and pulses section. Olive oil is available in the cooking oils aisle. Fresh onions, salt, and bay leaves are staples found in the produce and spice sections of any local grocer.
Preparation method
- Peel and finely mince the onion.
- Place the pressure cooker over medium heat, leaving the lid off.
- Once the cooker is hot, add the olive oil, followed by the minced onion and the bay leaf.
- Season with salt and sauté the onion until it is translucent and softened.
- Add the short-grain brown rice and stir well for about 1 minute, ensuring all grains are evenly coated with the oil.
- Pour the water into the cooker and stir to combine.
- Secure the lid onto the pressure cooker and increase the heat to high.
- Once the cooker reaches full pressure and starts whistling, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
