HEALTHY EATS 2: Rice Cooker Brown Rice and Sprouted Quinoa ─ EatNowCryLater

Hi guys! I've been on a healthy food kick lately so thought I'd share my recipe for brown rice and quinoa. My family loves this recipe and it's even been approved by my 8 year old son!

If you'd prefer the quinoa whole and not sprouted and cooked into the rice, please feel free to cook the quinoa in some water, separately, and then add it into the cooked brown rice at the end. :)

*If you do not have a "brown rice" option on your rice cooker, then you will need to soak the brown rice in some water for at least 8 hours, drain in a colander, and then proceed with the directions in the video.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups of organic brown rice

1 cup of organic quinoa

1 1/4 tsp of kosher salt

1 TBSP of dried parsley

1 1/2 tsp of onion powder

1/2 tsp of garlic powder

3 cups of water

INSTRUCTIONS:

Soak your brown rice in some water for 2 hours (or 8 depending on your rice cooker). Drain and place into rice pot. Add in your quinoa, salt, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well. Add in your water and mix again. Cover and cook until done. Open cover and fluff up brown rice and quinoa with a fork.

*Rice may appear too soft at first but will harden upon sitting. (Usually takes just 30 minutes in my rice cooker)

*When I steam the rice in my rice cooker using the "plain rice" option, I've noticed the rice to be a tad bit harder. You may play around with the recipe a bit (add more than 3 cups of water) to make the rice a bit softer. My husband can't tell the difference but I can lol.
