Total Time 3 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed

Instructions

  • Plug in your pressure cooker and turn on the saute setting. Pour in the quinoa and stir it frequently for about 2-3 minutes. 
  • Add the water to the pot. Put the lid on the pressure cooker, lock it, and seal it. Change the setting to rice, and set the cook timer for 1 minute.
  • The pressure cooker will take about 8 minutes to come up to pressure. After it's cooked for 1 minute, let it sit and naturally release pressure for 12 minutes.
  • Use the handle of a spoon to release the remaining pressure. Once the steam is all released you can open the lid and fluff the quinoa.
