Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 3 medium yellow potatoes
  • 12 oz baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  1. Start by chopping your veggies. Leave the potatoes unpeeled or peel them if you prefer. Try to chop the veggies in uniform sizes for even cooking time.
  2. Next, use the Sauté mode on medium heat to cook the onions, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic with about 1/4 cup water to prevent sticking. If you are not oil-free, you can use 1 tbsp olive oil to sauté instead.
  3. Once the veggies are fork tender, add in your potatoes, rice, broth, and the remaining ingredients including your spices. Stir until the broth mostly covers the rice.
  4. Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 4 minutes, then let it naturally release for 10 minutes before you quick release the rest of the steam.
  5. Open the lid, give it a final stir, and finish it off with fresh herbs. That's it! Serve and enjoy.
