How to Cook Whole Grains

Ingredients

  • 4-6 qts water*
  • 1-2 cups whole grain, rinsed (and soaked if desired)
  • salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Pour the water into a large pot and cover with the lid. Add salt if desired. Bring to a boil.
  2. Remove the lid and pour in the grain. Stir it up just a bit, then bring it back to a boil.
  3. Allow to boil until the grain is tender but still a little chewy (you don’t want it to be mushy).
  4. Turn off the heat, and strain out the grain; return it to the pot. Cover the pot with the lid and allow the grain to set for 5 minutes or so.
  5. *In this method, the actual amount of water is not super important: what’s important is if you have enough water for the grain to move around freely within the water. If you fill a 6 or 8 qt pot with water, you’re good to go.
