Failproof Instant Pot Rice 1:1 ratio + 1/2 t salt

Instructions

Add all ingredients into the Instant Pot. You can double, triple or quadruple all ingredients in same amounts.

Make sure sealing ring is placed properly in lid, add lid, turn shut and turn knob to sealing position.

Cook on high pressure for the number of minutes instructed below depending on the type of rice:

White Rice (Basmati or Jasmin): 3 minutes

White Sushi Rice: 5 minutes

Brown Rice (Basmati): 22 minutes

Short Grain Brown Rice: 24 minutes

Red Rice: 30 minutes

Wild Rice Blend: 28 minutes

Wild Rice: 30 minutes

Natural Pressure Release until pin drops. Takes on average 9-12 minutes (max. 18 minutes for 1 cup and max 30 mins for 4 cups).

Remove all rice from pot immediately to avoid it sticking to the bottom. If needing to keep warm, leave rice in pot after natural pressure release without opening the lid to avoid steam being released and drying out the rice > making it stick to the bottom.

[Omit oil]

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste, or 5 cloves garlic, minced and 1” of ginger, minced

2 teaspoons Kashmiri chili powder, or use paprika

1 tablespoon soy sauce, , use tamari for gluten-free or omit

1 tablespoon ketchup

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 red or green bell pepper, chopped or thinly sliced, or use a mix of both

1/4 cup chopped carrots

1 cup dry quinoa, washed and drained

15 ounce can chickpeas, drained, or 1 1/2 cups of cooked chickpeas
2 1/4 cup water or stock, heated until boiling

1/2 teaspoon salt

green onion, pepper flakes, chopped nuts and/or seeds, fresh herbs, and lemon or lime juice, for garnish


bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Check in at the 35-minute mark to see if the quinoa is done or not and also lightly stir the mixture, if the edges are starting to scorch. Cover with parchment again, and continue to bake for another 5 minutes, if the quinoa isn’t done yet.

Take the baking dish out of the oven, let it sit for another 5 minutes or so. You can add in about 1/2 cup of finely-chopped broccoli while the quinoa is still hot, mix in, and then cover it with parchment and let it sit for 5 to 6 minutes. The heat of the casserole will blanch and cook the broccoli. If you would like a creamier version, then fold in 1/4 cup of non-dairy cream or non-dairy yogurt at this point, and mix in.

Mix and fluff the quinoa really well, then serve in bowls topped with some crunchy green onion, cilantro, or chopped onion and some pepper flakes or black pepper and a good dash of lime juice or lemon juice. Some nuts or seeds will also be great garnish
