Shawarma Rice


  • Author: Sweta Patel
  • Total Time: 25
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Basmati rice – washed and rinsed
  • 2 cups veggie or chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp oil 
  • 1 onion – sliced 
  • 1 serrano – minced 
  • 3 cloves garlic – minced 
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper or red chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Chopped cilantro and lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Turn on the instant pot on sauté mode and add the oil. Once the oil is hot add the onions and green chiles. Cook for 2-3 mins and add in the garlic and cook for 30seconds until fragrant.
  2. Next add in the rinsed rice along with the spices and mix until rice is covered in the spices and a little toasty. Add the broth and give it one final mix so everything is well incorporated.
  3. Cover the instant pot with a lid, press the “rice” button and seal the valve. The rice button will cook the rice for 12 mins. Once the rice is cooked, do a natural release and enjoy!
  4. I added chopped cilantro and squeezed a fresh lime. Serve it with kebabs, cucumber salad and some naan. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Once the rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and add in the cilantro and lemon.
