Brown Rice Pilaf

Pressure Cooker Style

2 TBSP Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

2 Cups Brown Rice

½ Cups Finely Chopped Onion

3 Medium Carrots, Finely Chopped

2 Celery Stalks, Finely Chopped

4 Cups of Chicken Stock or Broth

Heat the oil in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat.  Add the rice and toast the grains for 2 minutes.  Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook for about 2 minutes to soften the onion.  Pour in the stock.  Lock the lid in place and cook at high pressure for 20 minutes.  


Then go read a book or paint your nails or take a cat nap!  I love to cook the pressure cooker way!

When the 20 minutes is up let the pressure release naturally before removing the lid.  Once you get a natural release fluff the rice and add salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!

This comes out perfect for me and the flavors are great.  If you are impatient like I am however you can also cook it for 23 minutes and do a quick release!   I've done it both ways with the same great results.   Sorry no pictures of this goodness but we ate it all!
