Grandma's Grain Recipe

By Mom_s

Ingredients

• 1 cup long grain brown rice (I use Lundberg's)
• 1 cup millet
• 3 handfuls of whole barley
• 3 handfuls of whole oats (groats)
• 1 handful of red rice, wild rice, or a mixture of wild type rices
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup Walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all grains together, rinse, drain, and put in a large thick-bottomed pot. Stir in the salt. Cover with water up to your knuckle - about two inches above the grains. Bring to a boil, then turn down flame as low as it will go. Cook uncovered (simmering) until all water is gone, about thirty-five minutes. If you overshot the amount of water you added and your grains cook before the water absorbs entirely, strain off the extra water.Add butter (and nuts if using)

This makes a big pot of mixed grains. Plenty for a family of four to use over the course of a week.
