Step 1

Set the Instant Pot to 'Sauté'. Add a drizzle of olive oil, and when it is hot add the onion, and sauté, stirring often until the onion is tender (approx 3 mins). Stir in the garlic and cook for around 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the tomato paste, stock, and seasonings to the Instant Pot bowl. Stir to combine and deglaze the bottom of the bowl [Note 2]. Press 'Cancel' to end the Sauté function.

Step 3

Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear [Note 3], then add to the Instant Pot and stir.

Step 4

Lock the lid onto the Instant Pot, and set to 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' for 7 minutes.

Step 5

When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 10 minutes. Open the pressure cooker and stir to fluff up the grains, before serving.
