Rice Pilaf


2 C cooked brown rice
2 T. oil
1/2 C millet
1/2 C qiunoa
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, diced
1/4 almonds, chopped
4-5 dried dates. chopped (you could also use golden raisins)
2 cups water or broth
3 T. parsley, chopped
salt and pepper

*optional
add 1/2 t. red pepper flake to onion and garlic
1/2 t. cinnamon

I precooked the rice because it takes longer to cook than the other grains.
Pre-saok millet and quinoa in water with 1 T. lemon juice or some other acid, overnight.
Saute onion, carrot and garlic in oil until soft. Add drained millet and quinoa, cook 2 min. Add liquid, reduce heat to simmer and cover, stirring occasionally until liquid is absorbed, add rice, almonds, dates, warm through. add seasonings and parsley and serve. Makes a great side or lunch.
