EASY ONE POT Rice Cooker COOKING: Rice,Quinoa, Veggies - Gluten Free and Vegan

Here's a quick easy way to cook your grains and veggies together for a delicious one pot dish.  I used grains I love and veggies, condiments, and with one flick of the rice cooker switch, made it fast and tasty.

Step 1: INGREDIENTS

 - A Rice Cooker, Tri-color Quinoa (or just plain Quinoa), Long Grain Rice (like Basmati or Jasmine), some Kale, a carrot, minced onion (dehydrated), garlic salt

Step 2: ADD Grains

Add to rice cooker:  2 cups rice and 1 cup Quinoa

Step 3: WASH

Wash the rice and quinoa ( swish the grains around in the pot filled with water - you want to wash it so the water becomes less cloudy and more clear), drain, wash again and drain.

Step 4: ADD WATER

Add the appropriate amount of water for 3 cups of rice in the rice cooker.  ALT suggestion: ***instead of just water, you could add veggie broth***

Step 5: CHOP VEGGIES

Peel the carrot and dice it.  Wash the kale, remove the spine and chop it.

Step 6: ADD VEGGIES

Add the veggies to the grains already in the rice cooker.

Step 7: ADD Onions, Garlic Salt

Add 3/4 tsp.- 1 1/2 tsp  minced onions, add garlic salt to taste and stir.

Step 8: COOK

Put the cover on the rice cooker and flip the "on" switch

Step 9: DONE!

In about 45 minutes you will have a grain and veggie dish, steaming hot.

Step 10: SERVE

Serve it up...  on the side, I served tempeh sticks and sliced avocado. YUM....
