Instructions
- Peel and dice an onion and sauté it in the instant pot with extra virgin olive oil until it is soft. Then hit cancel and stir in frozen garlic and mix well.
- Prep any veggies that you are adding. We diced a zucchini and a yellow pepper and then added them to the instant pot and stirred.
- Next add in brown rice, veggie stock and half of your seasoning.
- Make sure you mix well and press down any bits of brown rice from the top.
- Then place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing. Pressure cook for 18 minutes followed by a 5 minute natural pressure release.
- After releasing pressure, stir in your drained black beans and the rest of the seasoning. If adding frozen sweetcorn or peas, then stir this in too before serving.
Notes
Down. Before placing the lid on your instant pot, press down the rice so that none is above the liquid. This stops any of the rice from going hard once cooked.
Quantities. Your 2 cups/480ml of brown rice will make a good portion. You can leave your instant pot inner pot in the fridge and consume over the next 3 days or freeze any extra for later.
Seasoning. You can also add in extra seasoning and have it as spicy as you want. I also recommend for more spice to add in sliced jalapenos at the same time as your peppers.
