@mamaknowsnutrition: My family loves this simple weeknight Instant Pot Cheesy Broccoli Rice recipe 😊 it’s kid-friendly, with flavors they are used to! I serve it with a side of peas for some extra plant-based protein. We’re team white rice in my house — I make it every week! And I just discovered this Upcycled Organic Jasmine White Rice that helps reduce waste by incorporating some kernels that break after harvesting. Still just as delicious, but a small swap that makes a difference! #LundbergPartner @lundbergfarms Instant Pot Cheesy Broccoli Rice Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
1½ cups Lundberg white rice, rinsed & well drained
2¾ cups chicken broth
2 cups broccoli florets (about 1-inch pieces)
1½ cups shredded white cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper
1 tbsp butter
Optional: small squeeze of lemon juice Instructions:
Rinse rice under cold water until mostly clear. Drain well. Turn on sauté mode. Add oil and onion. Cook 3–5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Add a splash of broth and scrape the bottom well to prevent burning. Add the rinsed rice and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring. Turn off sauté. Add all broth and stir well, making sure nothing is stuck to the bottom. Seal lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Quick release. Open lid and stir. Add broccoli and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place lid back on (no pressure) and let sit 5–10 minutes to steam the broccoli. Stir in most of the cheese until melted. Add butter and stir. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and let it melt. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Optional: add a small squeeze of lemon juice.
