Instant Pot Spanish Rice ~ How to Make Rice in an Instant Pot ~ Amy Learns to Cook

[@god563616]

FINALLY MEXICAN RICE WITHOUT USING A BLENDER FIRST!!!!! Thank you! This is a good tex mex rice!

[@santiagodraco]

Looks good but a few things to point out. For a more traditional spanish rice you'd want to saute the rice so it's lightly browned, use tomato sauce (not diced) and less (or no) veggies.

[@dcmc7383]

No veg? There is absolutely a need for some sofrito to have the correct flavors for a good Spanish rice. Not sure why she uses carrots instead of peppers. But it looks like a good side dish. Haha.

[@billgreen1861]

@@dcmc7383 This is obviously a combination of southern creole and Mexican cuisine. You see, in the south a sofrito consist of onions, celery and bell peppers. If you go to Spain their sofrito is onions, celery, carrots and sometimes diced tomatoes. But Puerto Rican and Dominicans chop all the ingredients in the blender that way they'll have it ready for the whole month or longer. We all cook differently but with the same ingredients sometimes. Now I'm going to make my arroz con pollo 🐔. Bye 👋😎

[@pamelaleitman9200]

Thats looking amazing!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks!

[@conishkee]

Adding some cilantro and green bell peppers would really make any Spanish rice dish pop! Nice presentation.

[@gerilynne1955]

I had my Instant Pot for over two years. Used it once. I am a show me person. I just didn't understand how to use it. It was so confusing to me reading the directions. Then I seen a video on how to make a Cheesecake in it. That was it! I dusted my I.P. off and watched the video several times. I made it with no problems. My family is crazy in love with the cheese cake. Now I am hooked on the videos and I bought a second one to use. I am totally in love with it. I now have all kinds of gadgets to use with it. So nice to use one pot for my meals and not heat up my kitchen. Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to making this too.

[@CAnn-rt5gu]

Do you happen to have a link to the cheesecake recipe that you liked? Thank you in advance.

[@KTHomDesignsPaperCrafts]

Looks delicious and thank you for the demo! Would be so helpful to have the recipe included.

[@raymondschneider5217]

I found it, but, had to go to Amy's website for it.

[@JerryInfinity]

I just want to say thanks for this recipe.. I cooked my Spanish Rice using the pressure cook mode for 4 minutes and my rice came out perfect too! Just FYI. Thanks again.

[@jzbb1987]

I just got my insta pot for Christmas and I’m looking around for recipes and videos and this is definitely something I wanna try and make ! My first recipe was risotto last night and it’s my first time eating risotto and it was so tasty I’m so happy ! Thank you for your video !

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks, Sandra!

[@ErinAndTheViolin]

Thank you for the delicious recipe!

[@c_farther5208]

I thought you preferred Cosori? I did buy the Sundavo you demonstrated, I really enjoy the induction plate with my pressure cooker and cast iron skillet.

[@kmoney14141]

Sorry the recipe was really good i am going to,try this today Thank you for all your effort

[@mommac4374]

Recipe looks good thanks for sharing Tip I saw in another video when chopping onion put a wet paper towel on your cutting board in front of onion that should help some

[@seikibrian8641]

When dicing onions, it's better to leave the root end on to hold the layers together during cutting and to act as a "handle," then discard it after dicing. As for tear prevention, the sharper the knife the better, because it cuts the onion's cells rather than crushing them. You can also pop the onion in the freezer for a few minutes before dicing. (Cold molecules diffuse through the air more slowly than warm molecules.)

[@readingswithjenna9714]

SeikiBrian Genius!

[@abc-wv4in]

My mother used to hold a wooden kitchen match between her lips to keep her eyes from watering. Dicing onions doesn't usually bother me, so idk if that helps or not. Good tip about the onion "handle."

[@raymondschneider5217]

Have heard about the "handle" before; seems to work for me, too. Y'all Be Safe!

[@jacih8247]

Thank you for the wonderful recipe. This is cooking right now. Smells wonderful!

[@maryjemison1101]

Thank You ❤❤

[@tonyn152]

Looks great! Where can I find the printed recipe?

[@jeanettegiles6155]

It doesn’t stop the heat of the onion completely but if you cut the onion in half and refrigerate it first it will not make you cry.

[@phyllismercer9659]

your Spanish rice looks yummy enough for me to try it tonight I don't have a rice button on my ip so I am going to pressure cook on low for 12 mins and do a nr. I will let you know it comes out.

[@britneyserrano8908]

I make spanish rice weekly and my first question when I got an instant pot was I wonder if I can make my rice in it! Thanks for the video!!

[@phyllisbarrows585]

I'm going to try this recipe looks so yummy

[@tamarafearing7121]

Looks great! Can’t wait to try this!

[@sooome9294]

the nice thing about an IP is you do not have to "watch" what you are cooking. I like that about it so I can focus on other things that are going on at the same time. Time wise it seems the same, still, it is a good way to cook some meals. The favored thing I like to cook in it is broth. Do it often, I make it with the cut-offs of the veggies and carcass I have at the time. It saves lots of money and if you have to watch salt intake like me, the best.

[@michaelcowling9928]

Couple things first. I love it. I've never been able to make Spanish rice close to restaurant quality before and this is it. Better than mom's rice for sure. Couple of minor complaints. 1) Three cups makes a mountain of rice and unfortunately, I haven't found a way to preserve leftovers for long term storage. This stuff does not freeze well. 2) Your recipe comes out too spicy for anyone in my house to enjoy except for me. I like it hot but unfortunately the kids don't. I make the following changes: 1) Salt the onions with about 1/2 tsp of Kosher salt to help sweat them down and to season the final dish. I use unsalted chicken stock. If I used salted chicken stock I would omit this change. 2) Use brown rice instead of white rice for a more weight watcher friendly version (Happy wife, happy life) 3) Adjusted cooking time to 22 minutes due to using brown rice 4) Cut the rice and stock measurements down to two cups. That's more than enough to feed my family of four for two entire meals 5) Because the original was too spicy for my kids, cut all of the powdered/dry spice measurements in half and add 2 tsp of tomato bouillon added at the same time as the rest of the spices. The oil, carrots, corn, and garlic cloves remain the same. 6) Use 1x 14.5 ounce can of Gold Brand tomatoes with green chiles instead of the 2x 10 ounce cans of Rotel brand. Doing 2/3 the rice, use 2/3 the tomatoes. 7) Garnish with fresh jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and cotija cheese.

[@lorettamiller4536]

Can I add dried beans and if so when would I add them and how much? I'm new with the instantpot. Thanks so much looks delicious 😊

[@bunnytoes7200]

[@grizzlyadamsmith6038]

YEP....!!!!....WAY TO GO....!! EXACTLY HOW I MAKE MY VEGGIE-RICE....OR SPANISH RICE...GET THE JALEPINO PEPPERS IN THERE TOO..

[@andrewwolfe8742]

Gotta say I love your onion chopping! I learned that trick you used from Alton Brown and it works so perfectly! I like how you're explaining ratios. I usually cook with brown rice so I do need more liquids. Keep it up!

[@youruniverse6900]

looks lovely but I've never seen carrots in spanish rice. for a more traditional spanish rice, definitely add a bayleaf when you're frying your onions and garlic, also a pepper. onions, garlic, pepper and bayleaf is the foundation of the majority of spanish dishes :) always remember wine of course for that authethentic flavour and not forgetting colorante :) . This rice looks lovely and i will definitely try it, but I wouldn't have listed it as spanish rice xx

[@jackieilomanoski9296]

Yumm that looks delicious. We love our rice here.

[@rebeccadelacruz4446]

Looks delicious. 12/5/23

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks, Rebecca!

How awesome Amy I don’t own an instant pot, I’ve been thinking of buying one though soon.

[@isaiahcayatineto7579]

FitAussieAngie they are amazing

[@alwaysteatime489]

Looks so good

[@Tina-Bombina]

Looks lovely Amy. Thank you xx

[@putjesusfirst9217]

Try spanish rice using jasmine rice, you can thank me later. You could use basmati rice how ever that rice is really good for a fried rice. I never use just regular rice, I don't really care for it.. The jasmine & basmati rice doesn't have all that starch.. Cooks really good, has much better flavor. Have you ever tried the clintro lime rice.. If not you should give it a go, Its yummy Thanks for the idea with the pressure cooker, I have always just steamed it in a nonstick skillet type pot on the stove lol.. Looks awesome.God Bless

[@LarryRichelli]

You would kill the great taste of basmati by putting that krappy chicken stock in there. Just use water! Oh, GO VEGAN

[@putjesusfirst9217]

Larry Richelli if you use the real good basmati rice it doesn’t kill the taste at all.. I have cooked the rice to eat with soup I made before.. I cook curry most of the time with it..

[@bigelvis1485]

Were did you buy your cooktop stove? We need to replace ours and I love yours.

[@BigMike246]

Never tried the rice function. I'll try it next time

[@NightingaleNews]

Looks great. What is that appliance on the counter behind you? Stainless steel tureen of some sort....??

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

It is the KitchenAid Multicooker. You can also get it with a stirring tower (I have it but it was in the other room.). I really like it. Here is a link: amzn.to/2RgTHLb

[@michelespaid593]

You inspired me for our supper tonight!! It’s a simple dish but it’s ok for a Thursday night!! No Eric!!??😮 I’m sure he eats his share of the rice!! I love this recipe!! I’m going to try some corn for sure!!

[@adamsfamily6746]

Looks good Amy

[@elizabethkeyser9189]

Woo!

[@lilcowgirlsluvr]

Thank you...

[@NICKYM26]

oh boy another one of my favorite, nice if you could leave the recipe, but I know it's a lot of work. I'm combining a recipe book, that way I will have it in front of me....I can taste the rice lol, tks Nicky

[@ysmbklyn]

I like corn and carrots in my rice as well. Its delicious!

[@butteredbiskit3497]

I put peas in mine sometimes too.

[@hippydippy]

Nice!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks!

[@g4gypsy]

Hi Amy, I have horrible kitchen knives. Lol What brand of knives are you using? Thank u in advance!

[@Marginal391]

Thank you 🙏 ✔️ Namaste 🙏 💖 🌛 🌞 🌌 ⏫ ✔️ 👍

[@1cynanne]

That’s more like a southwestern version of rice. Looks interesting

[@pennywitt2258]

How do you like the stainless interior compared to a non stick interior on the electric cookers?

[@grizzlyadamsmith6038]

I CERTAINLY PREFER THE STAINLESS STEEL INTERIOR POT,.ALTHOUGH MY 6 QT. HAS THE NON-STICK POT..SO I WENT RIGHT OUT AND BOUGHT THE 8 QT. ONE THAT HAS THE STAINLESS POT....MUCH BETTER, LOOKS TOO...

[@PoeLemic]

The stainless interior is THE BOMB. That is the only way we cook now. We chunked our slow cookers and just use the Instant Pot. We bought a second one where we can switch out the interiors. Very smart that way !!!

[@abc-wv4in]

I love the stainless steel. My slow cooker has a ceramic insert which works fine for it. I don't have any cookers with an added non-stick surface.

[@robalan57]

abc you can buy a non stick insert for the Instant Pot on Amazon. Then you can switch them out at will.

[@skylark304]

VERY INFORMATIVE*******

[@colleenmasear3836]

I watch you all the time, but there is only 2 of us so could you make some recipes for 2 please…

[@msdemeanorscott1855]

Which lovely knife are you using? Do you ever use that odd shaped one I like so much

[@marleneford1956]

Can you maybe post a link to the written recipe? I save them in a binder.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Hi Marlene! The recipe is on my website. Here is the link www.amylearnstocook.com/instant-pot-spanish-rice/

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

Loving the addition of the corn. I love using my pressure cookers for rice, comes out perfect every time. Your Spanish Rice looked delicious. Thanks for sharing😃

[@armandogalindo8541]

bruno mars uptown funk

[@raymondschneider5217]

Instead of mincing my garlic by knife or using a garlic press, I grate it on a microplane, for the same or similar result. An extra point is earned, since you don't HAVE to peel the garlic; the plane captures the "garlic skin." Y'all Be Safe!

[@m4st3rm1nd9]

1:28 nice garlic slide

[@sharonlatour6230]

Amy, what about other kinds of rice?? I don't think the rice setting will work on all kinds of rice?

[@putjesusfirst9217]

Sharon La Tour jasmine rice an basmati rice cooks a lot faster an better.. I don't like all that sticky rice. If need to use a regular rice I usually go with parboiled, I am not a fan of regular rice has way to much starch .. I like fluffy rice, every rice is different you would have to do a test run. My cooker has a setting for brown rice, white rice maybe read your Manuel.

[@sharonlatour6230]

I rinsed my brown rice first before I put in in my IP. It only took 20 minutes for it to come to pressure and cook. I let it set for 5 minutes and released the pressure, it was NOT sticky, gummy or mushy. It was perfect.

[@abc-wv4in]

I like Jasmine rice, and the Rice setting (12 minutes) would cook it to a mush I think. For plain Jasmine rice, I used the PC setting and cooked it for 3 minutes, then a 10 minute natural pressure release and it was done, firm texture.

[@amayar6569]

abc low pressure? Or high pressure?

[@amayar6569]

abc low pressure? Or high pressure? For the jasmine rice

[@maureendannysauve2810]

My husband uses the insta pot I’ll show him this

[@skeeley64]

Thanks for the video. Can anyone tell me is this the 6 quart or 8 quart Instant Pot model? Thank again

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

It is the 6 quart Instant Pot.

[@2379030]

👏👏

[@jamiecurley8425]

Amy where is eric for the tast testing!? You guys are so funny together😉

[@1956classylady]

Amy make a sofrito with onions bell pepper of any color, garlic, cilantro , tomatoes. Add Sazon Goya Tomato and Cilantro one, one chicken bouillon, check salt levels carefully. Add rice and water and frozen peas and carrots. No corn honey. You will love this recipe. Take care.

[@tillykaregianes892]

I have one just like yours

[@kingjairealestategroup2055]

Dam Chef 👩‍🍳 that’s looks good.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks!

[@JimSchoenwetter]

Please put the recipe in the comments

[@pkrail]

That looks tasty. .. I have the 8qt Instant Pot , however 20/20 hindsight I should have gone with the 6 qt. The 8qt is a bit big for two people and I think it takes a little longer to pressurize and release. But if you're a big family or like to make huge portions it's great.

[@msdemeanorscott1855]

See how avant garde I am? I've had mine for over 6 years

[@kingjairealestategroup2055]

I am sure you are more advance than learning. Great channel.

[@msdemeanorscott1855]

Ah, Eric has a little car on the counter...cute.

[@evelyndejesus4226]

If you do the garlic just take it and smash it in the skin will come out and all you Gotta do is chop it I mean this is what my mommy told me

[@cookiebakr]

Get a cheap pair of swimming goggles - works great when cutting onion, no tears. Of course, you probably won't want to wear them on camera.

[@alxslz]

No Peppers?

[@abc-wv4in]

Yes, I'd want some bell peppers!

[@texastea5686]

Spanish? Or Mexican rice?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

We call it Spanish or Mexican Rice interchangeably where I am from in California but technically Spanish has saffron. Thanks for watching.

[@adrianscarlett]

If you cry when chopping onions, your knife needs sharpening

[@kmoney14141]

It would be easier to watch if we did not have the watch the long long procedure of you cutting ...just tel us dont spend all that time showing us ...just a suggestion

[@abc-wv4in]

By Amy "LEARNS to cook." People just learning to cook will benefit from seeing her cut the ingredients. Just slide to fast forward.

[@neerabatra9836]

So slow.... It her to chop garlic 3 mins. Please just do one item and proceed

[@cleohernandez2181]

Don’t like all the veg in it.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

You can leave it out. Thanks for watching, Cleo!
