Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed well
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms any kind
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp butter to finish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

  1. Set Instant Pot to Sauté. Add a little oil or butter and cook the onion 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until the mushrooms are browned, about 4–5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the rinsed quinoa, broth, thyme, and soy sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure nothing is stuck to the bottom.
  3. Lock the lid, set to High Pressure for 1 minute. When it finishes, let it naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
  4. Fluff with a fork and stir in the butter. Taste and adjust seasoning.
