Instant Pot Rice Pilaf

This is the best tasting Rice Pilaf you will ever make.  It is so easy to make and everything is done in an Instant Pot.  Have I mentioned I Love My Instant Pot.  You melt some butter, sauté your rice and orzo pasta until golden.  Then add some chicken broth and seasoning. Lock the Instant Pot - be sure the vent is on seal.  Select your rice setting and you are cooking.   When done, let the Instant Pot do a natural release.  Remove lid, and fluff.  You are now ready to serve.


Enjoy.
