Perfect Multicooker Quinoa and Vegetables
Fluffy, nutrient-packed quinoa cooked with tender mixed vegetables under pressure in just 15 minutes.
Instructions
1
Rinse Quinoa
Rinse quinoa under cold running water. This is essential to remove saponin, which causes bitterness.
2
Combine
Add rinsed quinoa, vegetable stock, frozen vegetables, olive oil, and salt to the multicooker pot. Stir gently.
3
Pressure Cook
Secure the lid and seal the valve. Cook on High Pressure for 1 minute (yes, 1 minute!).
4
Natural Release
Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. The residual steam will finish cooking the grains. Fluff with a fork.
The 1-Minute Quinoa Cooking Science
How does quinoa cook in 1 minute? Under pressure, the temperature reaches 120Β°C, cracking the coat instantly. The 10-minute natural release phase allows seeds to absorb the remaining moisture slowly.
