1 teaspoon minced garlic more if desired, I use 2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon peeled and grated or minced ginger 1/4 teaspoon if subbing powdered ginger
1 teaspoon minced lemongrass
1 teaspoon peeled and grated or minced turmeric 1/4 teaspoon if subbing powdered turmeric
1 & 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or flaked sea salt, less if salt sensitive
1 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup red quinoa
½ cup brown rice
½ cup farro spelt
2 ¾ cups water

Instructions

Place all Ancient grains ingredients into the Instant Pot. Close the lid, lock and seal the knob. Set to manual HIGH pressure for 20 minutes. Then release steam and let sit for 10 minutes on the keep warm setting. Stir and serve or store.
If the grains look a little wet, let them sit with the lid off for around 5 minutes and they should absorb any extra water.
I have successfully made several double batches in the Instant Pot.
