I bought this ancent grain blend at Vitacost months back, and I just made it once. It is now sitting in my cabinet. "This unique blend combines the nourishing power of farro, freekeh, grano, red wheat, red rice and rye berries for a sweet and nutty mixture that’s perfect as a side or an accompaniment to soup, salad, meat or vegetables."
It sounded good, got great reviews, so I bought it (and it was I think get one free, so now I have 2 bags).
I just made it once or twice and if I recall correctly it was king of gloppy. Would that happen perhaps if I overcooked it? I think there was some water left in the pan so I cooked it more (I thought that maybe I had it on too low of a heat so I needed to cook more). It had a long cooking time ..... Add 1 cup Vitacost® Ancient Grain Blend, return to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until grain is stirring occasionally, until grain is tender, 70-75 minutes
Anyone use something similar? And how do you use it -- cold salad, side ... ? I think TJ's sells something similar.
I'm going to try it again rather than just have it sit in my cabinet. Hopefully I'll ed up really liking it, and just assume cooks error the first time.
Thx.
