Instant Pot Multigrain Rice (with Lentils and Beans)

• tempo di preparazione: 5 minutes
• tempo totale: 25 minutes

Ingredienti

1 1/2 cup (250g) whole barley

1 cup (200g) white rice (see note)

1/2 cup (100g) quinoa

1/2 cup (100g) green lentils

1/2 cup (100g) dried beans, black beans preferred (see note) , soaked for at least 4 hours

4 1/2 cups water

Istruzioni

Wash grains and lentils by rinsing and rubbing between your hands in water. Drain and repeat 2-3 times. Drain and discard water.

To the Instant pot, add all the ingredients

Add 4 1/2 cups of water to the pot.

Close the lid, make sure the pressure valve is in the sealing position, and cook on high pressure 20 minutes.

Allow to naturally release until pressure subsides, or wait at least 20 minutes before doing a quick release

Once done, give the rice a REALLY good mix! Enjoy!

Note

White rice is most preferred as it is softer and chewier in texture.

The two recommended beans are black beans and small red beans (not kidney beans). Black beans will result in a more moist, softer texture, which is most ideal for babies. We personally prefer it as well.
