One-Pot Rice and Quinoa
A simple one-pot mix of white rice and quinoa that yields fluffy, bouncy grains with extra protein and fiber.
When you add quinoa to your pot of white rice, the grains end up every bit as fluffy and comforting, but with a lighter, bouncier texture, and an added helping of protein and fiber. Use this mix anytime you might plain white rice: in salads, with stir-fries or as a simple side. Be sure to check the package of quinoa to see if it's been pre-washed; if it hasn't, before cooking rinse it twice and shake it dry to remove its naturally occurring bitter, soapy coating.
