Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 0.5 cup Quinoa
- 0.5 cup Farro
- 0.25 cup Millet
- 0.25 cup Bulgar wheat
- 4 cups Vegetable broth or water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse all the grains (brown rice, quinoa, farro, millet, and bulgar wheat) thoroughly under cool running water to remove any debris or excess starch.
Combine all the rinsed grains in a large pot or saucepan.
Add the vegetable broth or water to the pot along with the salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let the grains simmer for 25-30 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the grains to steam and finish cooking.
Fluff the multi-grain blend with a fork and serve warm as a side dish, base for salads, or as part of a grain bowl.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
