By “stalk” of celery, I assume you mean a rib (i.e. a single piece)?

Hi Deb – I haven’t tried it, but I think brown rice would work well in this recipe. You’d just have to change the cook time to 22 minutes and do a 10 natural release. Let me know how it goes.

Hi ~ just wondering if long grain brown rice would work in this recipe?

In reply to Dorothy. Thanks for the tip Dorothy. I've been meaning to buy a mortar and pestle.

My sister’s in-laws taught her to grind the saffron with a mortar and pestle, then add a small amount of water to the spice before adding to the recipe. She made a delicious Grilled Saffron Chicken for years. Later she replaced the saffron with basil and liked it just as well. I did love the Saffron Chicken, though.

This sounds great Barbara! I never thought of using the pressure cooker for rice 🙂

In reply to Barbara Schieving. Howdy-do! Popping back to tell you I made this recipe this evening, and it turned out fantastic! I gotta say I'm kind of blown away that long grain rice could cook so quickly, but indeed it turned out to be perfect! Thanks a ton!
