Instructions

  • Rinse 85 g of Brown rice and 80 g of Quinoa under cold water and put into a saucepan.
  • Add 500 ml of Cold water and 1 pinch of Sea salt. Bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • All the water will have been absorbed. Keep the lid on and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Use a fork to fluff up the rice and quinoa.

Notes

  • Rinse the brown rice and quinoa under cold water to remove any excess starch and bitterness.
  • For more flavour, you could cook this in chicken stock rather than water.
  • Once you turn the heat off, leave the lid on the pan until you are ready to serve it.
  • If you are adding this to a salad, I would leave it to cool a little first.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice and some fresh herbs before serving to freshen it all up.
