High Energy Rice and Quinoa

[achookwoman]

Inspiration for this rice dish came from the UK TMX newsletter.  I don't like the texture of Quinoa,  but I know I should be eating it.  This provides a very acceptable solution to my problem.
NEED
1 litre of water for steaming
generous pinch of sea salt
200g of long white rice mixed with wild rice.  You can but this in the Supermarket, as 'entertainer rice'.
100g of quinoa.  I used Multi coloured.
DO
Weigh the water into the TMX bowl. Add salt.
INSERT THE BASKET
Weigh in the rice,  then Quinoa
Rinse the rice, 10 seconds. Speed 5.
Cook 22 mins/Varoma temp / speed 4
Transfer to a large serving bowl and stir.

Whenever I am cooking rice, I usually make 50/50 rice and quinoa.

I still haven't tasted quinoa but that rice looks really nice Chookie.  Did you serve something over it or with it?

[achookwoman]

Yes,  Chicken Cacciatori.  Looked for a recipe on forum but couldn't find one.  Will post if needed.

I haven't had cacciatore for years, maybe I should try one myself.  How does your recipe compare to these?

[achookwoman]

Thanks Judy.  I'm not much good at finding things.  Will have a look later as out to the Wool and Sheep show in Bendigo.
