Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Prepare quinoa by placing it in a sieve and rinsing it under cold water to remove any residue. Shake the water out of the quinoa and transfer it into the bottom of your Instant Pot.
  • Next, add water to the Instant Pot and mix everything together.
  • Close your Instant Pot and turn to pressure valve to 'seal'.
  • Press manual and set the pressure to 'high pressure''. Set timer to 5 minutes. It will take 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build, but eventually the timer will start counting down from 5 minutes.
  • When the timer goes off, quick-release your Instant Pot. Steam will shoot out of the vent, so be sure stay clear!
  • Open the top of the Instant Pot, fluff with a fork and enjoy!
