Mushroom rice pilaf recipe is a quick, easy dish that can be prepared with mushrooms, rice, vegetable stock, and some spices in just 20 minutes in an Instant Pot pressure cooker
Firstly, press SAUTE on Instant Pot. Next, add oil or butter and once it's hot, add minced garlic, onions and saute for about 2 minutes until onions turn soft.
Then add mushrooms and saute for a minute (don't skip this step).
Add the rinsed rice, vegetable stock (or water), salt, ground black pepper, and mix well. Deglaze the pot by scraping the bits stuck to the bottom to avoid BURN notice.
Furthermore, close the lid on the pot. Set the pot to MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK (High Pressure) and set the timer to 4 minutes.
When the instant pot beeps, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then quick release the remaining pressure manually.
Remove lid away from you, sprinkle sliced spring onions. Toss everything well. Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Mushroom Rice/Pilaf is ready to be enjoyed with Indian Cauliflower Manchurian.
