Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa See Note 1, dry
- 1 ¼ cups water (See Note 2)
Instructions
- Place the quinoa in a fine mesh sieve. Rinse under cold water for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Place the quinoa and water in the Instant Pot liner. Stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and close the steam valve. Set the Instant Pot to HIGH pressure for 1 minute. It will take the pressure cooker about 8 minutes to come to pressure.
- Once the cook time expires, allow the pressure to release naturally. This should take 10 to 15 minutes. The silver button beside the steam vent will drop once the pressure is released. Turn the steam vent switch to VENT. Carefully remove the lid.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Serve, or cool to room temperature and store.
Notes
- Note 1: Use white, red, black or tri color quinoa.
- Note 2: Feel free to substitute with vegetable or chicken broth.
