set the Instant Pot to Saute and put the oil in the inner pot

mix the spices and salt together and rub a little on each chop, reserve the rest for the rice

when the oil is hot quickly brown each chop on both sides

meanwhile use your kitchen shears to chop the diced tomatoes directly in the can, you just want to cut them a little smaller, you can always get petite chopped tomatoes but they don't sell those in bulk at the warehouse stores

remove the chops from the hot oil, set aside

pour the water in the pot and scrape all the browned bits up, stir for about 30 seconds

then add the rice, tomatoes, and the rest of the spices to the pan, top with the butter

put the browned chops on top of the rice

close Instant Pot

press the off button to stop the saute setting, then set it to manual for 4 minutes, make sure the release valve is set to seal

once it's finished let it natural release for 10 minutes, fluff the rice and then serve up dinner
