Cubed sweet potatoes are lightly roasted in the oven, then cooked with rice in a pressure cooker using homemade vegetable broth. Made with olive oil and a little salt, it is served as a heart-healthy side dish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the vegetable broth

40 min

Boil the celery stalk, half an onion, and the carrot peels in six 200 ml measures of water. Simmer for 40 minutes, then strain.

2

Roast the sweet potatoes

20 min

Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for 20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

3

Toast and cook the rice

6 min

In the pressure cooker, cook the chopped onion in the remaining olive oil for 4 minutes. Add the rice and carrot and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the strained vegetable broth and salt, then cook for 6 minutes after the cooker reaches pressure.

4

Combine with the sweet potatoes

4 min

After the pressure drops naturally, open the lid and gently fold the roasted sweet potatoes into the pilaf. Cover and let it rest for 4 minutes before serving.

Reminder

Always rinse and drain the rice before cooking, or excess starch can make the pilaf sticky. Do not cut the sweet potatoes too small; they may break apart in the pressure cooker. No allergen information is provided.
