EASY ONE POT Rice Cooker COOKING: Rice,Quinoa, Veggies - Gluten Free and Vegan
Here's a quick easy way to cook your grains and veggies together for a delicious one pot dish. I used grains I love and veggies, condiments, and with one flick of the rice cooker switch, made it fast and tasty.
INGREDIENTS
- A Rice Cooker, Tri-color Quinoa (or just plain Quinoa), Long Grain Rice (like Basmati or Jasmine), some Kale, a carrot, minced onion (dehydrated), garlic salt
ADD Grains
Add to rice cooker: 2 cups rice and 1 cup Quinoa
WASH
Wash the rice and quinoa ( swish the grains around in the pot filled with water - you want to wash it so the water becomes less cloudy and more clear), drain, wash again and drain.
ADD WATER
Add the appropriate amount of water for 3 cups of rice in the rice cooker. ALT suggestion: ***instead of just water, you could add veggie broth***
CHOP VEGGIES
Peel the carrot and dice it. Wash the kale, remove the spine and chop it.
ADD VEGGIES
Add the veggies to the grains already in the rice cooker.
ADD Onions, Garlic Salt
Add 3/4 tsp.- 1 1/2 tsp minced onions, add garlic salt to taste and stir.
COOK
Put the cover on the rice cooker and flip the "on" switch
DONE!
In about 45 minutes you will have a grain and veggie dish, steaming hot.
SERVE
Serve it up... on the side, I served tempeh sticks and sliced avocado. YUM....
