Instructions
Instructions
First, heat a tablespoon of oil in that pressure cooker on medium heat. You wanna get it nice and hot but not smoking.
Next, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir often until you see onions turn translucent and soft.
Then, add the diced bell pepper and cook those for about 3 minutes, getting a bit of snap but letting them soften up too.
Now, sprinkle in your rice with paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well so the rice gets coated with all them flavors.
Pour the vegetable broth right over this mix and crank up heat until it starts boiling.
Once boiling, seal the lid, make sure the sealing ring is in place, and wait for that float valve to rise signaling full pressure.
Lower your heat and cook under pressure for about 20 minutes. When time’s up, listen for the valve hiss and release pressure carefully. Fluff rice with a fork and serve it hot for that tender pull.
Notes
Serve immediately for best taste. Adjust any seasoning to your preference before serving. Enjoy with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
