A coarsely ground blend of rice, quinoa, millet, buckwheat and seeds. Simmer half a cup in water for a warm, thick breakfast cereal.

Ingredients

Dry mix

  • 1 cup brown basmati rice coarsely ground
  • 1/2 cup quinoa coarsely ground
  • 1/2 cup millet coarsely ground
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat groats coarsely ground
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds coarsely ground
  • 1/2 cup flax seeds coarsely ground
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup amaranth

Each serving

  • 2 cups water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup cereal mix

Directions

  • Measure all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  • Use a coffee grinder to grind the rice, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, sesame seeds, and flax into coarse pieces. Do not grind the cornmeal and amaranth.
  • Stir everything until it is evenly mixed.
  • Keep it in a sealed container, or divide it into small zip-top bags.
  • To cook a single serving, bring the water and salt to a gentle simmer in a saucepan, then stir in 1/2 cup of the mix.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until the cereal is thick and tender.

Notes

Dry mix: airtight in a cool, dry place; use within about 3 months of opening. Refrigerate cooked cereal within 2 hours, eat within 3 to 4 days; reheat with a little water or milk. Ground flax and sesame go rancid quickly at room temperature; fridge or freezer storage is safer. For gluten-free use, buckwheat, millet, and cornmeal should be certified gluten-free.
