This is a recipe I make nearly every week. It's quick, as easy as you can get, tasty, healthy, and can either be eaten on its own or incorporated into just about any meal. It is the definition of winning.
Shown above is my favorite way to eat it, on tortillas, usually with some veggies and cheese. This particular version of it incorporated chipotles; gave it a great heat, and a ton of flavor.
1/2 cup rice (I prefer wild)
1/2 cup quinoa
2 cups water (2 water to 1 grain, if you want to make more/less)
Bit of butter
Coconut curry powder
Garlic (as much as you like!)
Green onions
Spinich (or any other leafy greens you like/have lying around)
Chipotles (optional)
Toss everything into a pot set on medium heat. Seriously, that's it. Quinoa is traditionally soaked, and this is fine; I never soak mine though. Add as much or little of the spices as you want, and any combination.
Make sure the leafy greens don't overwhelm the rice and quinoa; I put in a pretty small handful for mine.
After the mix comes to a very good boil, turn the heat down to about medium-low and let it simmer there until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.
Serving suggestions:
Cook up some black beans, maybe sautee up some veggies, and toss it all into a tortilla, with some cheese.
Toss onto a bed of greens.
Eat with braised brussel sprouts. (recipe in the next post! ;) )
This stuff keeps in the fridge for about a week, but it's hard to keep it that long. Perfect for lunch, dinner, breakfast, whatever!
