Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Olive oil
3 larges Cloves garlic; minced
2 cups Coarsely chopped onion
½ pounds Garlic sausage
1¼ cup Short-grain brown rice; uncooked
½ pounds Cooked country ham; cut into 1/2 -inch cubes
4 Stalks celery; cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 large Green bell pepper; seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
2 cups Water
1 Bay leaf
2 tablespoons Tomato paste
Salt to taste
Tabasco or cayenne pepper to taste
1 cup Tightly packed; minced fresh coriander

Directions

Heat oil in cooker. Saute garlic and onion for 3 minutes. Push onions aside and brown sausage slices about 30 seconds on each side. Stir in rice, coating grains with fat. Add ham, celery, green pepper, water, bay leaf, tomato paste, salt and Tabasco, to taste. Lock lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Adjust heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 15 minutes. Let pressure drop naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape. If rice is slightly undercooked, cover and simmer over low heat for another 2 to 3 minutes; stir in a few tablespoons of water if mixture is dry. Stir in coriander, adjust seasonings and serve.
