This is my take on Rice-a-Roni. The mix of rice and pasta is a well-loved dish served in Iran. Using your electric pressure cooker gives you a wonderfully flavoured side dish. Its easy to add some diced tomatoes, finely diced carrot, or some leftover chicken.
Ingredients
1 tbsp butter or evoo
1/2 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup angel hair pasta, broken in 1/2'' -3/4" pieces
1 small onion, diced small
1 stalk celery, minced
1 tbsp salt-free seasoning mix
1 tsp parsley, dried
2 tsp thyme, dried
1/4 cup white wine
1 1/4 cup water and chicken cube or chicken stock
Garnish:
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 scallions, chopped
Instructions
1. Melt butter in pressure cooker pot, toss in basmati rice, angel hair pasta. Sauté a bit to get some browning. Add small diced onion, minced celery. Then added garlic and herb salt free mixture as well as parsley and thyme. Then de-glaze the pot with wine. Then added water with chicken cube (or stock if desired).
2. Set pressure cooker to manual High Pressure 2 minutes. 5 mins natural pressure release. Then quick release pressure.
3. Added some Parmesan and fresh sliced scallions. Serve and enjoy!
