This hearty pilaf made with whole-grain rice, onion, butter, and salt cooks in a pressure cooker, saving time while softening the grain’s firm texture. Slowly browned onions add depth of flavor.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the rice

30 min

Rinse the whole-grain rice in plenty of water and soak it in warm water for at least 30 minutes; soaking helps the grains cook evenly in the pressure cooker.

2

Cook the onion

12 min

Add the butter to the pot and sauté the onion over low heat for 12 minutes, until deep golden brown.

3

Pressure-cook the rice

18 min

Add the drained rice and salt, then pour in boiling water. Close the pressure cooker lid and cook for 18 minutes after the pressure indicator whistles.

4

Let the pressure release naturally

15 min

Remove the cooker from the heat and let it rest for 15 minutes, until the pressure releases naturally. Then open it and fluff the rice.

Reminder

Do not put the rice in the pressure cooker without soaking it in water for at least 30 minutes; otherwise, the whole-grain kernels will remain firm. Allergen: contains milk and dairy products (butter).

Tereyağı yerine zeytinyağıyla kavurdum, soğanlar aynı güzellikte karamelize oldu ama pilavın kokusu biraz daha hafif kaldı. 18 dakikalık düdük süresini değiştirmedim, kepekli pirinç yine de gayet iyi pişti.
