Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 cup water or broth
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 bay leaf optional
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa really well (this helps remove the bitter coating - saponins).
- Add the quinoa and remaining ingredients to the pot and give it a stir.
- Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and set the time for 5 minutes at high pressure.
- Naturally release pressure for 5 minutes if you're using white quinoa OR 10 minutes if you're using tricolor or red quinoa, then release any remaining pressure.
- Fluff with a fork and serve.
Notes
- I find that the colored quinoa needs a bit more steam time which is why I suggest waiting 10 minutes before releasing pressure if you're using red or tricolor quinoa.
