Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or more as needed
• 1 cup long-grain rice (we use Basmati)
• 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken stock
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ cup tomato sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Turn instant pot to saute. Heat the oil. Add the rice and toast, stirring, for a couple of minutes.
2. Mix together the chicken stock, tomato sauce and salt and keep ready on the side.
3. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin and toast for just a few moments, then pour in the stock and tomato sauce and give it all a quick stir before the spices burn.
4. Put the lid on the instant pot and switch to high-pressure function. Set a timer for 7 minutes; allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
5. Once done, use quick release for the pressure, remove lid carefully, and stir to fluff the rice.
