Instructions
Wash the leeks and cut them into 2 cm thick slices.

Peel the onions and slice them into half-moons.
Squeeze the orange.
Wash the rice.
Cooking
Put the chopped onions, leeks, and carrots into the pressure cooker.
Add the olive oil, place on the stove, and sauté for 5 minutes while stirring.
Then add the rice, orange juice, and salt; mix well and close the lid of the pressure cooker.
Cook over medium-high heat until the pressure indicator rises, then cook for another 5 minutes on low heat and remove from the stove.
Once the steam has released, open the lid and transfer to a serving plate.
Let it cool, then serve.
