Where to find ingredients
You can find brown cateto rice, along with fresh onions and herbs, in the produce and dry goods aisles of local Solomon Islands supermarkets or neighborhood markets. If brown cateto rice is unavailable, brown short-grain rice serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Peel and finely dice the onion.
- Place the pressure cooker over medium heat without the lid.
- Once the pot is hot, add the olive oil, followed by the diced onion and the bay leaf.
- Season with salt and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent and soft.
- Add the brown cateto rice and stir well for about 1 minute, ensuring every grain is coated with the oil.
- Pour the water into the pot and stir to combine.
- Close the pressure cooker lid and increase the heat to high.
- Once the pot reaches pressure (hissing or whistling), reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the steam to release naturally before opening the lid.
- Fluff the rice grains gently with a fork.
- Transfer the cateto rice to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
