This Recipe can also be cut in half .
INGREDIENTS:
4 c Jasmati rice (Jasmine or Basmati works fine) You can also use Long Grain.
3/4 c butter or a combo of 1/2 c and 1/4 c Pork / Chicken Fat
4-5 cloves Garlic minced.
2 c Finley chopped Sweet Onion. I love Walla Walla or Vidallias
1 1/2 Tbsp Taco seasoning (homemade is best. recipe here). Taco Seasoning
3 1/2 c chicken Broth
1-8 oz can of Tomato sauce
1/2 c salsa.
1/2 c (handful) Cilantro Chopped FINE
1/2 c green Chili’s.
OPTIONAL:
2 Tbsp Lime Juice
DIRECTIONS:
NOTE: here is a couple ways that work to make this tricky dish. Layering is important to prevent the burn notice.
You can either sauté the Onion and Garlic if you want in a separate Frying pan, OR you can just add it raw to the Pot, soooo depending on that, you would add the onion and garlic to the pot first.
However, I like to sauté separately, before I sauté the rice, so I take the inner pot to the stove top and leave it next to the stove top burner that I’m working with, set to med-med hi . It makes the Onion/garlic transfer easier once you have sautéed them. Add half the butter to the pan and Sauté the onions for about a minute until they just barely begin to soften, add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Transfer to the pot.
Add the rest of butter/Fat to the pan, add rice and stir gently and constantly until rice is lightly brown. Careful not to burn it. Add rice to the pot. Set pot back into the base. Stir rice in with the onion and garlic, add Chicken broth, lime juice, then don’t stir from here out. Carefully add chilis, salsa and then the tomato sauce, then dry ingredients, taco seasoning on top, Again..Don’t stir. Even the Seasoning can make it stick.
TIME TO COOK:
After the the Pot is down into the base of the IP. Put the lid on and Set pressure cook or Manual to 4 Min, then when done give it 30 Min NPR. Fluff the rice. Turn the pot off.
Put the lid back on cocyeyed until ready to eat.
