The ingredients for Brown Rice with Wheat Berries and Quinoa are:

1/4 cup wheatberries

32 oz can/box chicken broth

1 cup brown rice

1 cup quinoa

onion (finely chopped)



spices of your choice (Adobo is a good one on brown rice. It's cheap and in the Spanish section of grocery store. I also use Jamon which is ham flavored powder)

Here is how you make Brown Rice with Wheat Berries and Quinoa:

Cook wheatberries, onion, and spices (I use garlic and a clove both crushed up) and 1 cup of chicken broth for about 30 minutes in a smaller separate pan. I simmer them lightly. They take a long time to cook. They will cook more with the brown rice after they've had there first 30 minutes.Wheat berries done. Mix with brown rice and 2 more cups of chicken broth. I added some salt and crushed red pepper here. Bring to boil. Cover. Simmer lightly for 45 more minutes.While that is cooking gently simmer quinoa with the rest of the broth for 15 minutes. These will fall apart easily and get mushy. So I will fold them into with the rice and wheatberry mixture after everything cools.I will divide this up into 3 containers (holding 2 servings each). I use it as a side or I will mix with meat or veggies throughout the week for healthy and ready meals.Another trick is to cook the brown rice for an extra 5 minutes to sort of lightly burn the bottom of it. It adds crunchy goodness to the texture.Serving Size: 6Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CORMILROD.
