Ingredients

2 cup medium grain white rice cooked according to package instructions

Turn the pressure cooker back to the browning or high saute setting. Let the sauce come to a boil and reduce to simmer or low saute mode. Cook sauce until dark brown and reduced, about 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
