Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups boiling water
1/2 onion
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
1 cup long-grain brown rice

2 cups boiling water
Where to find ingredients
You can find long-grain brown rice, fresh aromatics, and olive oil at local grocery stores or open-air markets. In Tonga, for a heartier flavor, you may source locally grown produce; if fresh bay leaves are unavailable, dried ones from the spice aisle are a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Keep the half onion whole.
- Secure 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 bundle, and the rice.
- Season with the salt.
- Sauté the grains for 1 minute until well coated in the oil.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir well.
- Close the lid and increase the burner heat.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and begins to whistle, reduce the heat to low.
- Maintain the cooking process for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately.
Observations
Using a pressure cooker drastically cuts down the cooking time typically required for brown rice. This culinary technique yields a perfect, flavorful side dish that retains the cereal's nutritional integrity, offering a highly practical solution for your daily meal planning.
