4. Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours.
5. Stir in coconut milk, ghee, and chopped cilantro – season with more salt & pepper if needed – and continue to cook on low while you make the rice.
6. In a large pan bring 2 cups of water and one cup of rice to a boil, cook according to package instructions.

Instantpot
