INSTANT POT CILANTRO LIME RICE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 teaspoon oil
• 2 cup uncooked rice (I like long grain or Jasmine.)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 to 2 teaspoon lime zest (I do at least 2 and sometimes a little more… I love zest.)
• 2 cups chicken broth (or water + bullion)
• 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the oil to the bowl of your Instant Pot. Use a small pastry brush to brush the oil all over the bottom of the pot. This will keep the rice from sticking.
2. Add the rice, garlic, lime zest, and chicken broth to the Instant Pot.
3. Put on the lid, set the valve to sealing, and select Pressure Cook with a 4-minute cook time.
4. Allow the pressure cooker to come to pressure, start the cook time, and after the 4 minute cook time, let it stay at pressure (natural pressure release) for 18 minutes.
5. After 18 minutes, release the pressure. Carefully remove the lid when the pressure and valve have dropped.
6. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, sugar, and cilantro.
7. When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork, and then pour the lime juice mixture over hot cooked rice.
8. Stir to combine, and serve hot.
