Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Grains

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the short grain brown rice, red quinoa, and black quinoa under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and bitterness from the quinoa.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed short grain brown rice, red quinoa, black quinoa, and 6 cups of water. Stir to mix evenly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Grains

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the grains are tender.

  2. 4

    Fluff and Season

    Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Then, fluff the grains with a fork.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Add Olive Oil and Seasonings

    Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the fluffed grains. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary. Gently toss until the grains are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the rice and quinoa mixture to a half pan for serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
