Set the Instant Pot to Saute mode. he display screen should reflect "On".
Once preheated and hot (about 2-3 minutes), pour in the avocado oil.
Next, add in the chopped garlic and onion. Saute for about 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic and onion start to slightly turn brown.
Then, add in the uncooked long grain white rice. Stir the rice around until it's well coated with the oil, garlic, and onion.
Add in the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, chopped cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt.
Press the Keep Warm/Cancel button.
Put on the lid and turn until it locks in place. Make sure your knob is set to the sealing position.
Press on the Manual button. Notice the display screen reflects "On".
Using the + button, click until the display screen displays 8 minutes. Ensure you are cooking on High Pressure.
During the 8 minute cooking time, the pressure cooker is going to start steaming and whistling. This is normal.
You'll also notice that the display has started counting down from 8. Once the Instant Pot counts down to 0, it will beep and display L0:00.
From there, the pressure cooker will need to count down for 5 minutes (L0:05). During this step, the Instant Pot is slowly releasing pressure.
Once it hits L0:05, twist the pressure knob to release the pressure. Steam will rapidly release once the valve is set to venting mode so be careful.
After the steam has fully released, remove the lid. Take a fork and lightly fluff the rice.
Serve immediately. Top with fresh chopped cilantro and sun-dried tomatoes.
