Ingredients
1/2C Quinoa1/2C Millet1/4C Wild Rice1/4C Brown Rice1/4C Barley1/4C Buckwheat1/4C Bulgar Wheat2C Vegetable Broth or bouillon cube mixed in water2C water
makes 8 1/2-cup servings of cooked steamed grains. I find 1/4C dry mix per person is a nice portion as a side dish with dinner.
Prep:
In a bowl or cooking pot with a lid, mix 1 part grains blend with 1 part vegetable broth and 1 part water. I do it in my rice cooker pot. Let soak in the fridge overnight. (can stay in fridge for 2 or 3 nights if meal plans change)
Cooking:
Put soaked grains and liquid in cooking pot or rice cooker. Soaked grains cook the same as white rice. Stovetop: bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. cook for about 20 minutes on low. fluff with fork and serve. Rice Cooker: turn rice cooker on and wait. When its done, fluff with fork and serve.
***I'll be adding variations to this recipe, so keep an eye out!
***try adding finely chopped carrots, sweet potato, onions, nuts, olive oil etc.***
***Left-over grains are AWESOME!!!! use in home made stuffing, veggie patties, salads, stir-fries or like oatmeal for breakfast.***
