  1. I made mine a little differently... I browned sausage, with the brown function, in the pressure cooker. Once cooked, I added water, tomatillos, jalapeños (roughly chopped), and garlic. Once softened, I used an immersion blender to puree everything, added cilantro, seasonings, juice of 1/2 lime, then rice, and used the pressure cooker to finish. Once done, I fluffed and blended it, replaced the lid, and let it sit while finishing dinner. perfect! And took 10 minutes total!!! :) Served with black beans, fresh tomatoes, fresh jalapeño, avocado, salsa, sour cream, and lettuce cups :)
     
  2. I suggest using canned tomatillos so you don't have cook them down or food process them. This rice goes really well with fish tacos.
     
  3. Needed to use some of my CSA veggies and this was a great way to use a few tomatillos and jalepeno
     
  4. We loved this rice. I used one whole jalapeno. At the end, I added the squeeze of lime and a handful of fresh, chopped tomatoes. Delicious and has lots of flavor.
     
  5. This was very good. I agree that a squeeze of lime (or lemon, because I was out of lime) juice made all the difference. In fact, I'd recommend not leaving it out.
