Instructions
  1. Heat the inner liner of the Instant Pot on “Sauté” setting. Melt coconut oil. Add onion; sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add garlic, oregano and tomato paste; stir and let sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Add brown rice; stir to combine and let cook for another minute or so. It will begin to caramelize a little bit and deepen the flavors.
  4. Add the chicken stock and sea salt. Give it a good stir to incorporate all the flavors.
  5. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock into place. Press the Manual button; adjust time so that the pressure time is at 15 minutes. When done and pressure has naturally released, remove lid.

    Cook time for rice is inaccurate – you need to do 25 min. Also, its not very good outcome, and its not “spanish” at all. I wouldnt make it again.

    I’m looking for brown rice recipes so I was happy to come across this recipe. Does Instant Pot have a plain brown rice recipe as well? I haven’t found one yet. I’m going to try this over the weekend with added cumin and tomatoes and chilies.

    I added a can of salt free diced tomatoes, a can of black beans, little bit of home made taco seasoning, and pepper. I would reduce the salt requested to half. Next time I’ll add some corn for crunch. It turned out pretty good!

    Adding home made salsa is a good idea if you have some extra lying around or even a jar of a really good salsa!
