Quinoa combined with mixed veggies and kale made in the Instant Pot, it was ready in a minute…
Yet another reason to love Instant pot, you can make perfectly cooked and fluffy quinoa in a minute. I’d been making quinoa over stove top and it takes almost 20 minutes to completely cook quinoa. If I can make something effortlessly and that too in a minute, I’m all for that.
It’s been only a few days since I’ve started cooking in Instant pot, so far it’s been an awesome experience and I love how quiet IP remains while cooking- very unlike me 😀
This is the most easiest recipe you could ever think of. Quinoa being the super food that’s rich in all awesome vitamins and minerals, you can now make it in your IP. All you have to do is throw everything into the pot, set to high pressure and timer to 1 minute, and just walk away. After you hear the beep, release the steam and open the lid; Voila you will have the perfectly cooked and fluffy quinoa ready to be served.
