Save time in the kitchen by prepping quinoa in the Instant Pot. . Instant Pot Coconut Quinoa, a complete hands off recipe. I love the flavor coconut milk adds but you could easily substitute with bone broth or water. Start this quinoa while you’re prepping dinner and Ta-Da perfectly cooked quinoa without turning on the stove. Now while I love Quinoa, sometimes I don’t want to be near the stove keeping an eye on quinoa. When I first got my Instant Pot over 5 years ago I learned how to cook 3 things first: Rice, Quinoa & steamed veggies. I always suggest starting with these items to get a feeling for the Instant Pot, then move to a meal. One of my favorite Instant Pot meal is sweet potato red lentil soup.

Quinoa is actually a seed, not a grain. It is complete protein and naturally gluten free. It contains all 9 essential amino acids (essentials means our bodies cannot make it so we rely on food/supplement sources). This makes it the perfect pair to a meatless meal. It can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Cooked quinoa freezes well too, so always make extra to save for a quick meal later.
