Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups water or broth
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt reduce if using salted broth

Instructions

  • Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. Place ingredients in Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker. Set the manual setting to cook on high (if you can adjust the pressure; otherwise, just use the manual button) for 1 minute.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally (so don’t open the vent) for 15-20 minutes or until the pressure is completely released (the pot may switch to the “warm” setting.) Fluff with a fork and serve.
