- 2 tablespoons Olive or avocado oil You use whatever mild oil you like
- 1 cup Long grain white rice The heart of the dish
- 1 6-ounce can Tomato sauce Gives it that rich color and flavor

Instructions
Instructions
- Heat your oil in a big skillet over medium heat. You wanna get it nice and warm before stuff goes in.
- Add those diced onions and cook ‘em till they’re translucent and soft, like about 3 minutes. Smells gonna fill your kitchen real good now.
- Throw in the rice and stir it around for 2-3 minutes until it’s light toasted. It’s a step that’s easy to miss, but it works real good to keep rice from clumping.
- Mix in tomato sauce, garlic powder, onion powder or Adobo, salt, then pour your water or broth in the skillet. Give it a good stir to blend it all up.
- Once the mix’s boiling, transfer everything carefully into your pressure cooker pot. Lock that lid and bring it up to pressure. You wait for the float valve to pop up and the valve hiss to tell you it’s cooking.
- Cook it on high pressure for about 4 minutes. It seems short but trust me, it’s enough for tender rice.
- Let it do a natural release. This part you gotta be patient on, about 10 minutes. When the float valve drops, open it slowly and fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with cilantro. Done and delicious.
Notes
Chop cilantro for garnish to give that fresh green touch when you serve.
