Rice and Whole Grains for Rice Cooker
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups white rice
- 2 tablespoons hominy grits
- 2 tablespoons buckwheat groats
- 2 tablespoons brown rice
- 2 tablespoons millet
- water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (optional)
directions
- In the morning, measure grains and lentils into rice cooker, adding water to cover. Vary whole grains as desired, to total 1/2 cup. Allow to soak all day. (The soaking will allow the whole grains to cook tender in the normal rice cooker cycle).
- About 45 minutes before dinner, drain off the soaking water (this is only necessary if your are using beans--to throw most of the gas-producing stuff down the drain). Add water to 3/4-inch above the surface of the grain. Measure by placing the tip of your index finger on the surface of the rice--water should be up to the first knuckle.
- Sprinkle in salt if desired. Start the rice cooker. It will be ready by dinner time.

I haven't tried your recipe yet (although it sounds good!). I just wanted to say that I often fix 1 c. brown basmati rice with 1 c. pearly barley, plus 4 cups water (no salt and no butter, although you could add that, plus a tad bit extra water if you wanted to) -- and I and my family love it. I find I have not needed to presoak with this formulation.
