How often do you end up with a few grains in the end of bags/lentils which are not quite enough for a serving?
Well this tip is just for you, add them all to a jar and you have your very own mixed grain blend, which are great in place of the typical plain old rice.
Just be sure to mix up grains that have a similar cooking time. White rice or refined grains will cook quicker than whole grains.
In the below mixed grain blend, I mixed up brown rice, kamut, spelt, barley and some red lentils and then I also had a little bit of wild rice/basmati mix left in a bag so added that in too, as well as some millet. The latter two will perhaps cook a little quicker than the former, but will still make a nice mix, especially for pilaf’s etc.
Let me know what mixes you come up with or what yummy recipes you make with your mix.
