Instant Pot Quinoa

 While I'm still figuring out how to best use my Instant Pot, I'm all about finding those recipes that can be made more quickly and easily in there and this is one of those.

Between the rinsing/soaking, the timing and fluffing to get it just right, quinoa can be a pain to make. Doing it in the IP speeds things up a bit in the hands-on department. While it still takes about the same amount of time start to finish, once it's in the pot you're hands-free until it's ready to eat.

Pro tip - double the recipe and freeze in individual servings for quick weekday option.
