Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 1½ cups water

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

  1. Combine the rinsed quinoa and water in a 6-quart Instant Pot. Secure the lid and Pressure cook on High for 1 minute. (Yep, just 1 minute! The time it takes the Instant Pot to build and release pressure will allow the quinoa to cook completely.)
  2. Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally. This will take 10-15 minutes. When the float valve drops, remove the lid.
  3. Fluff with a fork and enjoy. See the blog post above for quinoa recipe ideas.
