Recipe - Brown Rice In The Pressure Cooker

1 One half cup Brown rice; rinsed and
drained
1 Three fourths cup Water
Three fourths teaspoon Salt; (I never use)

from _Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure_ by Lorna Sass

In a 1 One half or 2 qt casserole(I use a souffle dish) combine water and rice.
Place the rack and 2 cup water in cooker. Lower casserole into cooker with
aluminum strip(fold a 1ft x 2ft piece of aluminum foil over and double it
lengthwise, put it under casserole to lift in and out, air dry and reuse).

Lock lid in place. Overhigh heat, bring to high pressure and cook for 20
min(for long grain, Wehani, brown basmati, etc) or 25 min(for short grain
brown). Allow the pressure to come down naturally for 20 min. Remove the
lid tillting away from you to allow any excess stean to escape. If the rice
is not quite tender,(never happens to me) replace(but do not lock) the lid
and allow it to steaam for a few more mnutes in the residual heat.

Lift the casserole from the cooker with the aid of the foil strip. Fluff up
the rice before serving.
