Nutty Rice
This recipe gives you
options for adding variety to your rice. It has a wonderful nutty flavor
especially if you use reserve liquid from cooking beans, and a great
variety of texture. You can substitute Nutty Rice for plain rice in most
recipes. It’s also delicious all by itself.
Ingredients
1-half-cup brown rice
1-quarter cup wild rice
or other variety of rice
1-quarter cup lentils
(brown or orange)
2-cups water or reserved
liquid from steaming vegetables OR 2.5 cups reserve liquid from cooking
beans
Directions
Follow the directions for
cooking brown rice. Note: wild rice and certain exotic rice varieties
take longer to cook than standard brown rice, so you need to adjust the
amount of water and cooking time accordingly. Also, when you cook rice
with reserved liquid from cooking beans it will not absorb as fully as
plain water or reserve water from cooking vegetables, so you need to
adjust the proportions accordingly.
Feel free to mix and
match the ingredients until you reach a mixture that you like.
