This pilaf combines berbere, Ethiopia’s distinctive spice blend, with brown rice and seasonal vegetables in a pressure cooker. Because brown rice takes longer to cook, using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking time.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the vegetables

5 min

Sauté the chopped onion, carrot, and red bell pepper in olive oil for 5 minutes.

2

Add the rice and spices

2 min

Add the rinsed brown rice and berbere spice to the vegetables. Stir and sauté for 2 more minutes.

3

Cook in the pressure cooker

25 min

Add the water and salt, close the pressure cooker, and cook over low heat for 25 minutes after it comes to pressure.

4

Let the pressure release

15 min

Remove the cooker from the heat and let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Reminder

Wait for the pressure to release naturally before opening the cooker lid; opening it too soon may leave the rice undercooked.

Esmer pirinç yerine bulgur kullansam pişirme süresi ne kadar kısalır, düdüklüde yine aynı su miktarı yeterli olur mu acaba? Denemeden önce öğrenmek istiyorum, aksi halde bulgur lapa gibi çıkabilir diye çekiniyorum.
