Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 yellow onion -- finely diced

1 peeled carrot -- finely diced

2 celery stalks -- finely diced

1/2 cup vegetable broth -- or water

1 teaspoon dried sage

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram -- or

savory -- optional

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup long-grain brown rice -- preferably

basmati rice

1/2 cup pearl barley

1/4 cup wild rice

1/4 cup red rice or wehani rice

1/4 cup wheat or rye berries

1/4 cup black barley, buckwheat groats -- or

grain of your choice

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons tamari soy sauce

4 cups vegetable broth -- or water

 

The restaurant usually combines six grains in a hearty pilaf; basmati rice,

wehani rice, and wild rice, along with barley, black barley, and wheat or

rye berries. All of these grains cook in about the same amount of time,

although some are softer or firmer than others, leading to a diversity of

texture. Try this pilaf with your own selection of grains. -- Eric Tucker

 

1) In a medium, heavy saucepan, cook the onion, carrot, celery and stock

over medium heat until the vegetables are just softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the sage, thyme, marjoram, pepper, and salt. Add all the grains and

stir constantly for about 2 minutes to toast them.

 

2) Add the mustard, tamari, and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to

medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, until the liquid is

absorbed. Remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
