Pressure Cooker Brown Rice With Fresh Vegetables
- add review
- #90970
Brown rice has a long time to cook but this recipe cuts that time down by using a pressure cooker. The fresh vegetables can be cooked right in the pressure cooker but if your cooker doesn't have that setting then you can saute them in a skillet first, add the rice to the oil, and then proceed with the recipe. Another benefit of using the pressure cooker is that it doesn't cook out the flavor of the vegetables so they still taste fresh even though they are cooked.

ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 large carrot, cut into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 cup long grain brown rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 pound fresh broccoli stems peeled & trimmed, cut into bite sized pieces
directions
Heat the oil in the pressure cooker using the saute setting. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, and carrot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to cook the vegetables evenly.
Stir in the rice, salt, white pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to coat the rice with the oil and saute for one minute.
Add the vegetable broth and lemon juice and stir just enough to combine.
Put the lid on the pressure cooker and lock it in place.
Cook for 15 minutes on high pressure (if your machine doesn't have high pressure, cook for 4-5 minutes longer).
Use the quick release method to release the pressure. Stir the broccoli into the rice mixture, re-secure the lid, and bring the unit back to high pressure. Once at high pressure, cook for 2 more minutes.
Use the quick release method again to release the pressure. Discard the bay leaf and give the rice a quick stir before serving.

I didn't have fresh broccoli so I used frozen that I had thawed first and then just cooked it like it was fresh. Worked just fine - so you don't have to use fresh if you don't want. I think frozen carrots would work too, maybe thaw and add with the broccoli.

The rice turned out perfect. Glad it gave info on how to cook without high pressure because mine only has one pressure setting and it's more like medium. I also made this same recipe but without the carrot or broccoli and the ratios worked (liquid to rice) still in case anyone wants rice without vegetables.
