Instructions

To prepare quinoa, add 1 teaspoon olive oil to your pressure cooker bowl. Rinse your quinoa and add it to the bowl. Add in vegetable broth. Seal pressure cooker and cook on high for 1 minute. Allow a 4 minutes natural release. Remove lid and fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile - set your oven to broil. On a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment, add cherry tomatoes. Toss with olive oil and salt and pepper. Broil until charred and popping - about 4-5 minutes.
While tomatoes, cook - toast your pine nuts by adding them dry to a small pan. Toss until lightly toasted.
In a small skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon. Set aside.
Combine cooked quinoa, roasted tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese, and lemon butter. Toss to combine.

Notes

PRESSURE COOKER: Turn pressure cooker on to any mode to heat inner pot. Toast pine nuts about 5 minutes in inner pot until lightly toasted, remove and set aside. Broil tomatoes as instructed in oven. For quinoa, combine quinoa, reduce broth to 1 ½ c, press rice setting and cook for 1 minute with natural release. Remove quinoa from pot. Melt butter in pot, saute garlic until fragrant, add lemon juice, mix well. Gently mix quinoa with lemon butter, charred tomatoes, goat cheese crumbles, and toasted pine nuts.
