Ingredients

2 TBSP avocado oil

1/2 onion, chopped

1 tsp minced garlic

3/4 cup tomato sauce

2 cups long grain white rice

2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cumin

dash cayenne pepper

Directions

Set the Instant Pot on saute and add your oil and onions. Leave the lid off and stir frequently.

Saute the onions for about 4 minutes and then add in the rice and garlic.

Saute the onions, garlic and rice for about 2 minutes, until they begin to turn a golden color.

Add in the tomato sauce, chicken stock, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper and stir. Scrape the bottom so the rice doesn’t burn.

Close and lock the lid. Turn the Instant Pot to Manual for 8 minutes.

When 8 minutes is up and Instant Pot beeps, open the vent and place a towel over it. Be careful, it is very hot.
