Where to find ingredients
Find these pantry staples at local markets and grocery stores. Choose high-quality olive oil and fresh, firm onions for the best results. If you don't have a whole clove, you can omit it, though it adds a subtle aromatic depth.
Preparation method
- Keep the half onion intact.
- Attach the bay leaf to the onion piece using the clove as a pin.
- Heat the pressure cooker over medium heat without the lid.
- Add the olive oil, the prepared onion bundle, and the 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 well.
- Close the lid and turn up the heat.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and starts to hiss, reduce the heat to low.
- Cook for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally before opening the lid.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately.
Observations
Using a pressure cooker significantly cuts down the cooking time for whole-grain brown rice. This technique yields a perfect, flavorful side dish while preserving the grain's natural nutrients, making it a highly practical choice for your daily meals.
