My family loves my Pressure Cooker Saffron Almond Rice Pilaf so I thought it would be fun to do another pressure cooker pilaf recipe and change it up a bit. This time I added carrots before cooking the rice, and peas, parsley, and almonds after the rice is done steaming.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 celery stalk chopped
  • 1 large carrot chopped
  • 2 cups long grain white rice rinsed
  • 1 14 oz can chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds toasted

Instructions

  • Place the butter in the cooking pot. Select Sauté when the butter is melted and sizzling, add the chopped onions, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in rice and cook, stirring frequently, until rice becomes opaque, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth, water, and salt. Cover and lock lid in place. Select High Pressure and set timer for 3 minutes. When beep sounds wait 5 minutes and then use a Quick Pressure Release to release pressure.
  • When valve drops carefully remove lid, tilting away from you to allow steam to disperse. Fluff rice, stir in peas, parsley, and almonds, and serve immediately.
