So. QUINOA. Quinoa gets a terrible rap for being this faddish Gluten Free food. And it is true I probably wouldn’t have tried it if I wasn’t gluten free - but I never did grits before I went gluten free either, and live right down in grits county, North Carolina in the U.S. of A.!
You need to give quinoa a chance. I buy it in bulk at Sams, now, as you can see - eat it instead of rice with dinners. This is going in Buddha bowls with the lentils in today’s other post!
THE BEAUTY OF DOING RICE AND QUINOA IN THE INSTAPOT? This won me over immediately: it DOES NOT STICK. Brilliant.
Quinoa is easy enough in the Instapot. Two cups quinoa, two and a half cups water (you see I tossed in some broth base too, for added flavor), in the Instapot on Pressure Cook/high pressure for 22 minutes.
Brown rice cooks exactly the same. Two cups rice to two and a half cups water or broth, into the Instapot on high pressure (Pressure Cook or the Rice setting, it’s the same on mine) for 22 minutes.
There it goes!
And easy as that, it’s done. Fluff with a large spoon or fork before taking up!
