Mixed Grain Pilaf

June 29, 2012 Leave a Comment

This mixed grain pilaf is delicious, you can mix up all the grains and keep them in a tub or jar to use when you wish. A great way to get a mixture of healthy grains into your diet and a nice alternative to the usual refined white rice so many of us tend to eat.

To make a multigrain mix, just mix together a few different grains (try to stick to ones that have a similar cooking time). In the mix below I used a mixture of basmati rice, wild rice, kamut, lentils and pearl barley. Quinoa and millet works well too.
