Rice is toasted until golden, then cooked in a pressure cooker with a sauce made from tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion to create Mexico’s classic red rice. A party favorite, this rice also works well served in snack portions.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Sauce

10 min

Blend the tomatoes, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves until smooth.

2

Toast the Rice

5 min

Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker, add the rice, and toast for 5 minutes, until the grains are slightly translucent.

3

Add the Sauce and Stock

5 min

Add the prepared sauce, hot chicken stock, peas, and salt to the rice, then stir.

4

Cook in the Pressure Cooker

12 min

Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the cooker whistles, cook over low heat for 12 minutes.

5

Release the Pressure and Let the Rice Rest

10 min

Turn off the heat and wait 10 minutes for the pressure to release naturally. Open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.

Reminder

As you toast the rice, coat every grain with oil; this helps the rice cook without falling apart. Never force the pressure cooker to release pressure; wait for it to release naturally.

Sosu blenderdan geçirirken bir kaşık domates salçası da ekledim, renk daha koyu kırmızı oldu ve tadı belirginleşti. Düdüklü tencerede 12 dakika yerine 14 dakika pişirdim, taneler yine de dağılmadı, tam kıvamındaydı.
