Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- Place quinoa, water, and salt in an Instant Pot. Place lid on and seal. Make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Select "manual" and set Instant Pot to 1 minute.
- Once the 1 minute is up let the quinoa sit in the Instant Pot for 10 minutes to do a natural pressure release. Then carefully, move the valve to "venting". Once the pressure is released remove the lid, mix well and serve.
Notes
- You can make 2-3 cups of quinoa at a time.
- Any leftovers you have you can place in a freezer bag and freeze for another meal!
- If I were to make a big batch of 2-3 cups I would probably divide the quinoa into smaller portions and freeze.
- hen to reheat, you can place the frozen quinoa in a glass dish with a wet paper towel on top and reheat in the microwave until hot. Typically this only takes 1-2 minutes.
