Grain experiment, number 1
I have some smallish amounts of grain left, so I decided to try a variation on the quinoa I recently did. Here it is.
- 2¼ cups of water
- 3/8 cup of red quinoa
- 3/8 cup of steel cut oats
- 1/4 cup of millet
- 3/4 tsp of salt
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- 3 Roma tomatoes, drained of pulp & seeds, chopped.
- 1 serrano pepper, seeded, minced.
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
Procedure
- Put water & salt in a pot, bring to boiling.
- Add quinoa, millet, oats; cover and reduce to simmer for 20 minutes. If water is left after 20 minutes, uncover and simmer till almost gone but grain is not sticking to pan.
- Remove from stove, let cool.
- Add onions, tomatoes, serrano and garlic. Toss together.
- Whisk olive oil & lemon juice together. Toss with grain/tomato mixture.
This turned out edible. I think the oats made it a bit slimy.
