Instant Pot Gammon Rice
Delicious rice pressure cooked in the Instant Pot with leftover gammon and gammon stock. Then crisped up with the Instant Pot Duo Crisp Air Fryer Lid
Equipment
- Instant Pot / Instant Pot Duo Crisp
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil or oil of your choice
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 carrot small-medium, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- ½ stalk of celery finely chopped
- 1 dash red/white wine about 20 ml (optional, can use some of the stock)
- 300 g arborio rice
- 800 ml gammon stock
- 100 g gammon leftovers diced, don’t worry if you have less, add what you’ve got, it all contributes to the flavour. Find out how to pressure cook your gammon first
- 80 g extra mature cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice, grated
Instructions
- Add the 1 teaspoon of oil to the inner pot. Press Sauté and set to Less. Add the chopped onion, carrot, garlic and celery and stir to coat in the oil. Put the glass lid on and let it sauté for a few minutes.
- Add a dash of red wine or about 20 ml of stock and stir the rice in. Mix it well.
- After 1-2 minutes, add the stock. As it’s gammon stock, don’t add any salt just yet.
- Make sure the sealing ring is in and well pressed down. Lock the lid in. Steam release handle point to Sealing, unless you have a self-sealing lid (how cool are they?).
- Pressure Cook, high pressure, 5 minutes. Quick pressure release.
- Stir in the diced ham, check to see if it needs any salt.
- Air Fryer Lid: after stirring in the gammon, quickly scrape the walls down with a silicone spatula. Sprinkle the cheese and put the Air Fryer Lid on, pressing down to make sure it connects well. In the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, press Grill / Broil, 204°C, in total I did 8 minutes. 4 minutes and checked. Added 2 minutes and checked again. Another 2 minutes and it was perfect.If your air fryer lid reaches a higher temperature, use the maximum temperature and reduce the time, I'd do it in 2-3 minute bursts first as it will happen quickly and you don't want to overcook the rice.
Notes
If you don't have the air fryer lid, just stir in the cheese at the end when you add the ham or brown it under the grill or in the oven.
*Instant Pot Terminology
Quick pressure release (QPR, also called quick release or QR) means venting the steam as soon as the pressure cooking process finishes, i.e. moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.
Natural pressure release (NPR, also called natural release or NR) means letting the float valve pop back down of its own accord, so basically you don’t need to do anything at the end and can keep your feet up. If it takes over 15 minutes, you're ok to release the rest of the steam (by turning the steam release handle to Venting) that may be left in order to unlock and open the lid.
Sometimes you'll see me talk of a combination of NPR followed by a QPR. For example a recipe may have a 4 minute NPR followed by a QPR. You wait for 4 minutes at the end of the pressure cooking time and then do a QPR by moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.
