This goes under a growing list of things I lived without until I got one and now I can't live without. I can make great rice without it, provided I don't get distracted halfway through and burn it (sure it was only one time, but it's a source of Hispanic shame to botch rice!). It's just so easy! And it frees up valuable burner space. Mine even has a steamer attachment so I can steam veggies alone, or while the rice is cooking. Fabu!
Today I embarked into a whole new world of rice cookery. Today I made Quinoa and Lentils! Here's the recipe as I made it up, I even measured (something I don't normally do) so I could record it for posterity.
Into rice cooker went:
1 cup quinoa (prerinsed)
1 cup brown lentils
1/4 cup sofrito (frozen)
dash of garlic powder
dash of onion powder
dash of Adobo seasoning (basically pepper, oregano, salt, onion powder, garlic powder & achiote)
4 cups water
After it cooked I served it with 1/4 cup vegetable juice and a little shredded mozzarella added to it. It was delish!
