Where to find ingredients
You can find long-grain brown rice and aromatics at local supermarkets or open-air markets (dukas/fresh produce sections). Olive oil is widely available in grocery stores. As a substitute for long-grain brown rice, standard locally sourced brown rice varieties can be used, though cooking times may vary slightly.
Preparation method
- Keep the half onion whole.
- Attach 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 assembled onion piece, 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 thoroughly.
- Close the cooker and increase the heat to high.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and begins to hiss, lower the heat to a simmer.
- 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 gently with a fork and serve immediately.
Observations
Using a pressure cooker drastically cuts down the cooking time for whole-grain brown rice. This technique delivers a flavorful and wholesome side dish, keeping the cereal's nutritional profile intact while offering a practical solution for busy daily routines.
