A wholesome and flavorful mixed grains recipe perfect for any meal.
Combine the brown rice, quinoa, and barley in a large pot.
Rinse the grains under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch and improve texture.
Add the water and vegetable stock to the pot and bring to a boil.
Use a mix of water and stock for a balanced flavor.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 40-50 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the grains do not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Remove the pot from heat, fluff the grains with a fork, and serve warm or store for later use.
Let the grains sit covered for 5 minutes after cooking for easier fluffing.
