Quintessential Quinoa

You’re about to meet one of your favorite new dishes. Light, fluffy, and springy, quinoa is one of the healthiest seeds (that’s often mistaken for a grain) you can eat. And when paired with Tex-Mex flavors, it’ll make you want to dance. If you like, you can serve it topped with a dash of hot sauce or a small sprinkle of crumbled cotija or shredded low-fat cheese.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3  tbsp  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1  small red onion  diced
  • 1  red bell pepper  seeded and finely diced
  • 1  Jalapeno pepper  seeded and finely diced (optional)
  • 3  garlic cloves  minced or pressed
  • 2  cups  quinoa
  • 1 1/2  cups  low sodium vegetable broth  or Garlic Broth (page 44 of the cookbook)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1  can low-sodium black beans  with their juices, 15.5-ounce
  • 1  can no-salt-added diced tomatoes  with their juices, 14.5-ounce
  • 1/2  package frozen corn kernels  10-ounce, optional
  • 2  tsp  fresh cilantro leaves  plus more for garnish (optional)
  • 1  tsp  ground cumin
  • 1  tsp  seasoned salt
  • 1  tsp  chili powder
  • crumbled Cotija cheese  grated Parmesan cheese, or nutritional yeast, for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add the oil to the Instant Pot, hit  Sauté, and Adjust so it’s on the More or High setting. After 3 minutes of heating, add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using) and sauté for 5 minutes, until lightly softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  2. Meanwhile, put the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for 90 seconds; drain well.
  3. Add the quinoa to the pot and toss until coated in the veggies and oil.
  4. Add the broth, lime juice, black beans, tomatoes, corn (if using), cilantro (if using), cumin, seasoned salt, and chili powder. Stir well.
  5. Secure the lid, move the valve to the sealing position, hit Keep Warm/Cancel, and then hit  Manual or Pressure Cook on High Pressure  for 1 minute. When done, allow a 10-minute natural release followed by a quick release.
  6. Fluff the quinoa with a fork, stir, and serve topped with additional fresh cilantro and cotija cheese, Parmesan cheese, or nutritional yeast, if desired.
