Baby Porridge

Breakfast, lunch and dinner it can be mixed with other fruits or veggies for substantial nourishment. Whole grains and dried beans are healthy and inexpensive, but can take a long time to cook.  This recipe cuts that time down amazingly.

Recipe:
1/3 cup uncooked whole grain (I've used brown rice, or millet, or groats, or wheat berries, or spelt, etc)
2 T dried beans (I've used white beans, large lima beans, lentils, garbanzo beans, or red beans)
2 cups water
Note:  I usually stick with one type of bean and one type of whole grain per batch.  My favorite combination is brown rice with white beans.  It has a nice creaminess to it.

 1.  Put grain and beans in a food processor and process for to 2 minutes.

 2.  Bring 2 cups of water to boil in a small saucepan.  Add in the grain/bean powder and stir with a whisk.

3.  Cook for 10 minutes uncovered, stirring every couple of minutes.
4.  Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
