Healthy Nutella Rice

Submitted by Mia in Germany

"Nutella - healthy??!? Yes, if you make it yourself with natural ingredients! Cooking time is a guess because I found that cooking time for brown rice varies. Prep time includes soaking time. Addition: Rita's review made me aware of the fact that I forgot to mention that you have to roast the hazelnuts before grinding them into a paste!"
