Servings 3 cups

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 cup brown basmati rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon buttery spread or plant based butter spread
  • Optional: Spray the Instant Pot with oil spray or put a little olive oil on the bottom to prevent sticking

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients in the Instant Pot
  • Put on top and set valve to sealing, not venting
  • Let the rice cook for 22 minutes
  • After the time is up, do QR (quick release) - which is turning the know to venting and let the steam come out. Use a silicone mitt to turn the vent so you don't burn yourself.
  • Serve
  • Note, when I made this, the rice was much drier and a little stuck to the bottom of the pot. If you spray a non-aerosol spray, it will help (or add a little more water).
