Power Pressure Cooker Chicken And Rice Gandules Food

INSTANT POT PUERTO RICAN ARROZ CON POLLO

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil. Add salt pork pieces and stir until edges start to brown, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and sazon seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is white on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Add sofrito and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes. Pour in tomato sauce, olives, and capers. Stir to combine and cook until bubbly and all flavors are incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off Saute function, then add the rice and mix well.
• Drain liquid from the can of gandules into a large measuring cup. Add enough water to make 2 1/2 cups* of liquid (*if using a 6 quart pot; 8 quart pots should add enough water to make 3 cups of liquid). Add gandules and liquid to the pot and stir well, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan thoroughly to loosen any browned parts. Season with salt and pepper.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 17 minutes.** Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. (**If making this with an 8-quart pot or a pot that is sensitive to the burn error, I recommend starting a secondary timer for 17 minutes when the pot reaches pressure, that way if the pot gives a burn error at any point, you can leave the lid in place and allow the food to continue to steam with the lid in place for the correct amount of time, then push cancel after 17 minutes to resume the recipe natural release method in the next step)
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
