These are all from Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons

Barnard, MD. (Recipes by Joanne Stepaniak). An excellent book that I

highly recommend!

 

Breakfast Brown Rice

 

Makes 4 servings

 

....This recipe calls for soaking the rice overnight. Soaking the rice

overnight reduces the normal cooking time consideraby, making it

convenient for everyday breakfasts...

 

1 C. brown rice

2 C. water

1/4 tsp. salt (optional)

1 sliced ripe banana

1 C. chopped fresh fruit or berries

1/4 C. chopped walnuts

1/4 C. raw sunflower or pumpkin seeds

Fortified vanilla soy or rice milk or soy yogurt (optional)

 

Place rice in a large wire mesh strainer and rinse well under running

water, stirring with your fingers. Place in a large saucepan with

water. Cover and let soak 8 to 22 hours. Do not drain. In the

morning, add salt, if using and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to very

low, cover, and cook until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, or until

water is absorbed. If time permits, remove from heat and let rest,

covered, 5 to 10 minutes. Top each serving with some of the fruit,

nuts, and seeds. Serve plain or with vanilla soy or rice milk or a

dollop of soy yogurt, if desired.

a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring

occasionally until bulgur is very tender, about 20-30 minutes. Remove

from heat and stir in vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cardamom. Serve

plain or with soy or rice milk, if desired.

Thank you, Marjorie! Those look excellent - and the slow-cooker recipe will

please many

people who are too busy to start cooking in the mornings! (as if that's unusual!

LOL)

 

I shall put them in the ****NEW**** 'Breakfast' folder along with others, once I

get all these

lovely recipes and ideas sorted through.

 

Love, Pat
