Ingredients

  1. 2 cups quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
  2. 4 cups water or vegetable broth
  3. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  4. 1 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the Quinoa:
    • Begin by thoroughly rinsing the quinoa under cold running water. This helps remove any bitterness or residue.
  2. Prep the Instant Pot:
    • Switch on your Instant Pot and select the “Saute” function. Once hot, add the olive oil and let it heat up.
  3. Toast the Quinoa (Optional):
    • For an added nutty flavor, toast the rinsed quinoa in the Instant Pot for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Add Liquid and Seasoning:
    • Pour in the water or vegetable broth, ensuring it covers the quinoa completely. If desired, add salt for seasoning. Give it a gentle stir.
  5. Pressure Cook:
    • Secure the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to the “Sealing” position, and switch to the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” mode. Cook on high pressure for 1 minute.
  6. Natural Release:
    • Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow for a natural release for 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully turn the valve to “Venting” for a quick release of any remaining pressure.
  7. Fluff and Rest:
    • Open the Instant Pot and use a fork to fluff the quinoa gently. Let it sit uncovered for a few minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Your perfectly cooked quinoa is ready to be served as a versatile side dish, a base for salads, or as a nutritious addition to your favorite recipes.
