Ingredients

▢ 2 cups brown rice
▢ 2 cups chicken stock
▢ 1 tablespoon ghee
▢ ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Pour the brown rice into a fine mesh strainer. Rinse well under cold water until the water runs clear.
Place the ceramic insert pot in the Instant Pot base. Add the rinsed rice, chicken stock, ghee, and kosher salt to the insert.
Lock the Instant Pot lid into place and make sure the valve is set to the sealing position. Using the Pressure Cook setting, cook the rice at high pressure for 25 minutes. The cooker should take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.
When the rice is done cooking, press the Keep Warm/Cancel button to turn off the cooker. Allow the pressure to release naturally (NPR) for 10 minutes, then use the pressure valve to quick release any remaining pressure.
Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
