From your shelf
- 1 cup [185 g] long grains brown rice with quinoa and lentils
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil

- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup of the rice blend and stir often until it smells toasty and turns a shade darker, about 3 minutes. The grains will feel warm and smell fragrant when done.
- Pour in 2 cups broth and stir once. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover with a lid, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender, about 28 minutes. Do not stir while it cooks.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 2 minutes. Fluff with a fork, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
Note Swap the broth for water if that is what you have on hand. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days and reheat gently with a splash of water. Serve alongside roasted vegetables, a simple salad, or a fried egg on top to make it a meal.
