Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2 cups rice
• 2 tablespoons hominy grits
• 2 tablespoons buckwheat groats
• 2 tablespoons brown rice

• water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Recipe

• 1 in the morning, measure grains and lentils into rice cooker, adding water to cover. vary whole grains as desired, to total 1/2 cup. allow to soak all day. (the soaking will allow the whole grains to cook tender in the normal rice cooker cycle).
• 2 about 45 minutes before dinner, drain off the soaking water (this is only necessary if your are using beans--to throw most of the gas-producing stuff down the drain). add water to 3/4-inch above the surface of the grain. measure by placing the tip of your index finger on the surface of the rice--water should be up to the first knuckle.
• 3 sprinkle in salt if desired. start the rice cooker. it will be ready by dinner time.
