Instructions

To Make One Now

  • Measure the quinoa into a fine mesh sieve and thoroughly rinse the quinoa under running water for one full minute. Then place the rinsed quinoa into the Instant Pot.
  • Add the water and place the inner pot into the Instant Pot.
    Place the lid on top and seal it, and turn the venting knob to “sealing.” Press “pressure cook” or “manual” on high and adjust the timer to 1 minute.
    Let the quinoa cook and when the timer goes off, let the pressure release on its own naturally.
    Fluff with a fork and serve warm, OR freeze extras in 2 cup portions for future recipes!
