Notes
- Rinse the brown rice and quinoa under cold water to remove any excess starch and bitterness.
- For more flavor, you could cook this in chicken stock rather than water.
- Once you turn the heat off, leave the lid on the pan until you are ready to serve it.
- If you are adding this to a salad, I would leave it to cool a little first.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice and some fresh herbs before serving to freshen it all up.
