A simple, nourishing base you can pair with anything - and a great way to introduce kids to quinoa. Great for batch prep and freezing into portions.
- 100 g quinoa
- 100 g basmati rice
- 500 ml water
Rinse the quinoa and rice really well under cold water to remove any bitterness.
Add both to a saucepan with the water.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 12 minutes. Do not lift the lid.
Turn the heat off and let it sit, still covered, for another 10 minutes to steam and absorb any remaining liquid.
Fluff gently with a fork and serve or portion for later.
Store in the fridge for 2 days or freezer for 1 month.
