This is a sweetish healthy side dish, or vegan main dish. Perfect for Thanksgiving. I use a packaged mix of the 3 grains but I suppose you can use what ever grains you like. I am going to try this with brown rice. Ingredients:
1 cup of mixed quinoa, red lentils & bulgar wheat |
3 -6 chopped apricots |
2 tablespoons raisins |
3 cinnamon sticks |
1 teaspoon turmeric |
1/3 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 cloves |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. In a pot:.
2. Stir fry the grains in 1 Tbsp oil for 3 minutes.
3. Add chopped apricots, raisins, spices and stir.
4. Add 2 1/4 c hot or boiling water.
5. Bring to boil, cover pot and simmer on a low flame for 34-45 minutess. (All the water should be absorbed).
6. Turn off stove and let sit an additional 10 minutes.
7. Serve hot.
8. (my hubbie likes this cold too).
