Ingredients to make Brown Rice with Quinoa:

• 1 cup of brown rice (200 grams)
• 1 cup of Quinoa
• 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
• 20 grams of fresh parsley
• 1 dessert spoon of garlic paste
• 1 pinch of Salt and Pepper

How to make Brown Rice with Quinoa:

1. To start making our brown rice with quinoa recipe, the first step is to prepare all the ingredients.
2. Bring a pot to medium heat and add the tablespoon of sunflower oil along with the brown rice and fry it for a couple of minutes with a little salt to taste.
3. Remember that brown rice is rice that has not been processed and still contains the pistil, which makes it cook a little slower than normal.
4. Add garlic paste and let fry for a few more minutes.
5. Brown rice is harder than white rice, this means that for a cup of brown rice you will always have to add three cups of water.
6. Once we have added the water in the previous step and we see that the water dries up, we cover the rice and lower the heat to a simmer in this way we will finish cooking our brown rice.
7. You should leave it at this temperature for about 20 minutes.
8. Now we are going to prepare the quinoa. To do this, the first step is to take it to a strainer and wash until the water that comes out of the quinoa stops throwing a white color.
9. The measurements of the quinoa are the same as those of normal white rice, for one cup that you are going to cook you add two cups of water.
10. Then we take our quinoa to a pot with two cups of water and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes or until you see that the water is completely dry.
11. Once we have the two main ingredients previously cooked, we proceed to prepare the brown rice with quinoa.
12. We put a frying pan over medium heat and fry the quinoa with a little salt and pepper to taste.
13. Add the brown rice to the pan where we have the quinoa and mix well until all the ingredients are integrated
14. To enhance the flavor of our recipe, add a little garlic paste to taste, salt, pepper and finely chopped parsley.
15. In this way we will obtain a preparation with excellent flavor, if you want to change the spice for some other that is to your liking you can do so.
16. Serve the brown rice with quinoa accompanied by any type of protein you want; however, it is also an excellent accompaniment with any legume.
17. This preparation contains a lot of fiber, so it is important that we can measure each of the portions.
