Pressure Cooking Quinoa
- 2 1/4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa rinsed and drained
- 1 x salt to taste
- Author's note: I find the taste of quinoa a bit grassy when cooked in water, so I prefer to cook it with a rich vegetable, chicken, or beef stock when I use it as a rice substitute.
- When I paln to use it as the base for a cold salad, I cook it with water.
- Bring the stock or water up to the boil in the cooker.
- Stir in the quinoa and salt to taste.
- Lock the lid in place, and immediately set the timer for 2 minutes.
- Over high heat bring toward high pressure.
- Turn off the heat after 2 minutes; then let the pressure drop naturally for 10 minutes without removing the cover.
- Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
- If the quinoa is not quite done, replace the lid and cook over medium heat for a few minutes longer, adding a few tablespoons of water if the mixture seems dry.
- When the quinoa is done (it should be tender, but still crunchy), drain off any excess liquid.
- Adjust seasonings and serve immediately.
