Quinoa and Black Beans (DF, GF)

This is SOOOO quick, simple and easy to make in the pressure cooker.  

This is good to eat by itself, as burrito filling, or on top of a potato.

Ingredients:

1 cup dried quinoa

1 onion, chopped

1 Tbsp minced jar garlic

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cumin

1 red bell pepper, chopped

2 cans black beans, with liquid

1 24-oz package frozen corn

1 and 1/2 cups water or veggie broth 

Directions:

Put all ingredients in an electric pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.  Release pressure naturally.  

I have not tried this in a stove-top pressure cooker, so the time may not be the same.
