Autumn Whole Grain Rice Blend with Peas and Carrots
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 4 cups
Ingredients
2 Cups Whole Grain Rice Blend
2 Cups Vegetable Stock
2 Cups Water
1 Tablespoon Reduced-Sodium Tamari
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
½ Cup Fresh Carrots (I used purple because they're pretty!)
½ Cup Frozen Organic Sweet Peas
1-1" Slice of Kombu
Instructions
- Begin by placing 2 cups of rice in a large bowl and rinsing it until the water runs clear, then set aside for overnight soaking. In the morning rinse again. And finally rinse one more time before cooking.
- If using a rice cooker: add all ingredients (except the carrots and peas) and cover until it shuts off automatically.
- If using a pot: Put all ingredients into the pot with tight-fitting lid. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, peel and cut the carrots into thin medallions, and work on the other items that you are pairing with your meal (tip: you can also utilize this time to set your table and take care of any dishes used during preparations!)
- After 45 minutes or when the rice cooker shuts off, fluff your rice with a fork and then add the sliced carrots and sweet peas. Cover for an additional 10 minutes.
- Discard Kombu and serve. Bon appétit!
