Preparación

1. 1

   --- Instant Pot ---

   Select the "saute" option. Once the pot is very hot, melt butter and saute onions for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent. Add in in garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

3. 3

   Stir in the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, coating in butter.

4. 4

   Add in the 1 ¾ cups chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and herbs. Scrape all the rice grains down into the liquid. Seal the Instant Pot and press "rice."

5. 5

   Once Instant Pot beeps to indicate it is finished, allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes (do NOT release the steam yet). After 10 minutes, release the steam and open the lid. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.

   Heat a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, melt butter and saute onions for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent. Add in garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

8. 8

   Add rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring well to coat every grain with butter.

   While the rice is toasting, microwave 2 cups chicken stock until hot. Add the hot stock, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and herbs to the pot. Cover immediately and cook on low heat for 20 minutes (should simmer softly).

    Once finished cooking, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. If it is still a bit sticky, allow some steam to escape for 5-10 minutes until it reaches the desired texture
