Sprouted Rice N Rye


The bottom recipe uses my favorite bouillon replacement.  All the bouillons you find in the store either have MSG or Autolized Yeast Extract which is basically the same thing as MSG. I searched long and hard to find something to replace it. I did try a fresh vegetable bouillon that I made but had to freeze. It was great, but sometimes got lost in the freezer. This one is the best I've found and is quick and easy to make. You only use 1 t. per cup of water and it is easy to store right with my spices.  I use it at least three times a week and I know it has wholesome ingredients.  

RICE‘N’RYE 

How to sprout and low heat:
1 c short grain brown rice (long-grain is too refined to sprout, and will still be crunchy
after low heating.)
1 c whole rye berries
water to soak and low heat
1. Mix together grains and then soak and sprout grain. 
2. Low heat grain: Place grain in a pan and cover with the same volume of water.
3. Bring water to a full boil (when bubbles recover quickly after stirring), cover
tightly and turn off heat.
4. Keep pan covered until it cools to serving temperature, strain off any excess water
and season grain as desired. Yields about 6 c total.
Note: Recipe may be doubled, tripled or quadrupled and kept in a tightly sealed container
in the refrigerator for up to one week. Simply reheat small quantities as needed.
Reheating Instructions: Bring a scant ¼ inch of water to a simmer in the bottom of a
saucepan. Add grain and cover tightly. Steam for one minute, then shut off heat and let
sit, covered for 5 more minutes. Strain off excess water, if any.
Serving suggestions: This grain combination works great with any vegetable stir-fry or as
an addition to soups.
