Ingredients
- 1½ cups quinoa (we used white quinoa)
- 18 ounces broth (we used vegetable broth)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in your instant pot insert and put the lid in place.
- Set your pot to manual/high pressure and put the cook time at 1 minute. The pot will take about 5-10 minutes to pressurize before that 1 minute starts counting down.
- When the time finishes, allow a 15 minute natural release before removing the lid. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Notes
Instant pot tips:
- Cook time - Most electric pressure cookers take about 10 - 15 minutes to come to pressure. The inputted cook time will begin after the pot is pressurized.
- Natural pressure release - Hit cancel and walk away from the pot. It will slowly naturally depressurize. Depending on the contents this can take anywhere between 10 - 20 minutes for a full natural release.
- Quick release - Turn the dial at the top of your pot to allow the pressure to release quickly. Always use a long handled utensil for this to avoid steam burns.
- Do not quick release under cabinets or you may cause steam/water damage. If there is sputtering, quickly turn dial back to 'sealing' and allow it to naturally depressurize a few minutes before trying again.
- If using an instant pot that is larger than 6 quarts, double the amount of liquid.
