1
Rinse the Grains
Rinse the brown rice and quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove any excess starch and bitterness.
2
Combine the Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, quinoa, water (or vegetable broth), and salt. Stir to combine.
3
Bring to a Boil
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the grains are tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
5
Sauté Garlic
While the grains are cooking, heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
6
Fluff and Serve
Once the grains are cooked, remove them from heat and let them sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add the sautéed garlic. Mix well before serving.
