- Add rice and stock to the Instant Pot. Select Manual Pressure and set to cook for 22 minutes.
- While rice is cooking, stir together oil, lime juice, and cilantro in a small bowl.
- When the cook time is up, turn off the pressure cooker and allow pressure to naturally release for about 5-7 minutes. Remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. Add the cilantro lime mix and stir evenly into the rice.
This recipe makes about 9 standardized (3/4 cup) servings of brown rice (39g carbohydrate, 2g fiber. By making a big batch all at once, you can decide what is the right portion for you to have at mealtimes and then divide out any leftovers into individual amounts to freeze for later.
To increase the versatility of the rice, you can also leave half of the cooked rice plain and add the cilantro lime mix to the other half. This way you can repurpose the plain brown rice for other dishes, too.
