    Preparing brown rice with spinach and green peas in Instant Pot
  • Cover the pot and cook the mixture on manual high-pressure mode for 22 min.
  • Let the pressure release naturally. It may take around 15-20 min. Garnish with freshly chopped spinach leaves and cilantro. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. You can use half vegetable stock (or chicken stock) and half water in this recipe.
  2. For al dente rice texture, release the IP pressure manually as soon as the cooking timer is over.
  3. Before closing the lid, taste the liquid and adjust seasonings according to your liking. At this point, a slightly strong taste will result in perfect final flavors as the rice will absorb the seasonings while cooking.
  4. Try this recipe for Spinach Rice if you want to use white rice.
