Mexican Rice

1. Gather all of your ingredients before you start. Mince the garlic and dice the onions and bell pepper.
2. Press the Sauté button on the electric pressure cooker to heat it up. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil. It should be enough to coat the bottom of the pan and rice.
3. Cook the onions until you get a translucent color (about 4 minutes or so). Now add the rice, garlic, salt, pepper and bell pepper. This will sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes. Be sure to stir it constantly. Do not walk away from this because the rice could easily go from white to burnt in no time. Sauté the uncooked (hard) rice until it comes to a light golden color. This process and ingredients add all the flavor into the rice.
4. Once the rice has come to that beautiful golden color it's time to add the tomato sauce, cumin and Goya seasoning packets. You will continue to sauté this for another minute or two.
5. Now you want to add the water and switch the electric pressure cooker to manual or rice mode and steam it for 10 minutes with the steamer vent set to seal. Then do a quick release when the time is up.

Seasoning Information: These Goya seasoning packets are a combination of salt, coriander, annatto, garlic, and more cumin. The box comes with a bunch of individual sized packets in it. You can use this for meats, stews, soups, poultry, pasta, beans and vegetables. Each packet has about a 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning each. It has a beautiful red color too.

This Mexican rice recipe comes out perfect this way! You can double this recipe too. For every cup of rice you will double the water. It is important to keep the rice to water ratio exact. You can always mix up the seasonings and the vegetables to as much or as little as you want though. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
