Notes
- You can use any flavoured broth or stock when cooking your quinoa. I prefer this brand especially if you don’t have a supply of bone broth in your freezer.
- Try to avoid any liquid that is over thick. This will make it difficult for the instant pot to cook to pressure. For example, focus on watery bone broth rather than cans of tinned tomatoes.
