This is an easy and healthy rice recipe that we use for the base of many of our meals. Whether it's a delicious stir-fry rice bowl, Mexican burritos, or added to creamy coconut Thai, this whole grain rice combination packs a lot of nutrition! We use this healthy leftover rice for many recipes and side dishes throughout the week.

Servings: 6

Prep Time: 5 min

Cook Time: 45 min

Total Time: 50 min

1 1/4 cup brown rice
1/2 cup barley
1/4 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 tsp. sea salt

Optional:
Spices like cumin seed, fennel, or mustard seeds
Replace 1/2 cup water with homemade pickle brine
1/2 cup raw cashews

This is a low-fat base recipe that we use for many meals, but feel free to use different ratios with other grains. We like a ratio of brown rice to barley to quinoa of around 4:2:1 Once you learn how to cook brown rice, any other whole grain is about the same. We also like adding several optional ingredients depending on the type of meal we're making. Since whole grains takes a long time to cook, harder seeds like fennel come out perfect!
