Ingredients
1 1/2Tbspolive oil
1largeshallotchopped (about 1/3 cup)
3clovesgarlic minced
2cupslong-grain brown ricerinsed well and drained
2 1/2cups water
Instructions
Be sure to rinse your rice well! It's a key step to removing excess starch and obtaining a fluffier rice.
Hit 'saute' on your Instant Pot and add in the olive oil.
To the warm oil, add the shallot, garlic, and a sprinkle of sea salt, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Add in the rice and water.
Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure the vent is closed.
Cook at high pressure for 22 minutes.
After the time has lapsed, let the rice sit (untouched) for 10 minutes (or longer) before manually releasing any remaining steam. I've left it to sit for as long as one hour with no problem.
Remove lid, fluff rice, and add salt to taste.
