- Secure the bay leaf to the onion using the whole clove as a pin.
- Heat the pressure cooker over medium heat with the lid off.
- Add the olive oil, the prepared onion assembly, 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.
- Seal the lid and increase the burner heat.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and begins to hiss, reduce the heat to low.
- Cook 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.
