Easy Coconut Quinoa

Just 3 ingredients and insanely easy prep (use your Instant Pot) make this delicious coconut quinoa with lime zest recipe a go-to side dish or breakfast option…

Ingredients :
  • 1 Small lime, zested and juiced
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 13 oz. Coconut milk
  • 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed if necessary
Directions :
  1. Check the quinoa package to see if your quinoa needs rinsed. If it does, pour 1 cup of quinoa into a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
  2. Place quinoa, canned coconut milk, water, and salt into the rice cooker.
  3. I select the quick cook setting on my rice cooker and then press the start button to start the cooking process. For a standard rice cooker without all of the bells and whistles, one cooking cycle should be enough to do it.
  4. The rice cooker will beep after about 30 minutes to indicate that it's done the cooking. Let the quinoa sit for about 4-5 minutes after it's done the cooking, and then fluff it with a fork.
  5. Stir in the zest and juice of one small lime, season with additional salt to taste, and it's ready to serve.
  6. To cook quinoa in your Instant Pot, simply follow the instructions for rinsing the quinoa, place all of the ingredients in the instant pot liner.
  7. Use the manual setting to cook it for one minute at high pressure and then allow it to natural pressure release for up to 10 minutes. Fluff and stir in the lime zest and juice as indicated above.
