#Shorts Instant Pot Moro de Guandules | Instant Pot Rice Recipes | Chef Zee Cooks

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Soak the guandules in water for 1-2 hours to soften.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the soaked guandules, coconut milk, and water; bring to a boil.

Add bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper; reduce heat to low.

Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until guandules are tender.

Stir in the rinsed rice and mix well.

Add additional water if needed to cover the rice by about an inch.

Bring to a boil again, then reduce heat to low and cover tightly.

Cook for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro and scallions.

Serve with lime wedges and garnish with diced carrots.
