To begin making this recipe I chose the Saute less function on my Instant Pot and added some olive oil.

When it had heated I placed the pork chops in the Pot.

Adding the pork chops.

I browned the pork chops on both sides for a couple of minutes per side.

Searing the pork chops.

When browned I removed the pork chops to a plate. 

The seared pork chops.

Now I added in one cup of the water and used it to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.  This deglazing step is very important.

Deglazing the pot.

I pushed the cancel button on the Instant Pot then added the rest of the water and the long grain rice to the Pot.  I did not stir.

Adding the rice.

The kit I purchased for my Instant Pot included an egg rack.

This rack was perfect for placing over the rice and holding the pork chops while they cooked.

I also received a steamer basket in the kit.

Putting steamer on top of chops.

Having this allowed me to cook vegetables on top of the rice and chops.  Now my whole dinner was in one Pot!

Putting vegetables into steamer.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 3 minutes.

When the Instant Pot was done cooking, I allowed it to Natural Release for 10 minutes.

Then I turned the steam release handle to the venting position to finish with a Quick Release.

I removed the lid from the Instant Pot.

Using oven mitts I carefully removed the steamer basket with the brussel sprouts and carrots.

Next I dumped the vegetables into a serving dish and drizzled them with maple syrup before putting a lid on to keep them warm.

Can you use bone in center cut pork chops? Is the cooking time the same?

Kathleen

Monday 27th of June 2022

Hi Mary, I have never tried it with the bone in but now I may have to next time. I don't think I would change the time. I am going to start wrapping the brussel sprouts in tin foil because my family prefers them firmer. If you try the bone in before I do please let us know how it works out! Take care, Kathleen

Where do I print the recipe? After I deglaze do I throw that out?

Kathleen

Thursday 3rd of February 2022

Hi Dora, The printable recipe is at the bottom of the page. No you do not throw out the liquid after deglazing. The liquid is needed to allow the Pot to come to pressure. Enjoy, Kathleen

I used 2 cups + 2.5 cups water for brown rice, followed directions 3 min plus natural release 10 min. However rice uncooked still crunchy and watery. Looking at other IP recipe's they suggest 15 min, this however would overcook the brussell sprouts. Any recommendations?

Kathleen

Hi Mark, Brown rice takes a lot longer to cook in the Instant Pot so for anything under 20 minutes I use white rice. Also if you like your brussel sprouts a little firmer you can wrap them in tinfoil. I do that with vegetables if I cook them with a roast. So I would recommend using white rice and wrapping your brussel sprouts. Enjoy, Kathleen
