Beans and grains are very healthy and nutritious to human body than
meat and dairy product. They contain rich amount of fiber, carbohydrate,
calcium, iron and vitamins but no or little fat and cholesterol.
Just like meat and dairy product, most beans and grains are hard to
cook and absorb if not cooked well. But with the great feature of our
Pressure Cooker, it only take 30-40 minutes and you
are on your way to have delicious and healthy beans and grains porridge
ready for you whenever you like!
The following recipe is base on my personal experience and
preference. I encourage you to change it with your "experiment"
and help me to improve and enrich my "cookbook".
I usually buy beans from variety of grocery store to get all the
beans that I can get. For example, you can get Lima beans, great northern
beans, red kidney beans, black beans, blackeye peas, pito bean and any
other that you are interested in.
I buy grains from oriental grocery store. For example, you can get
red sorghum, yellow millet, barley, red bean, green bean, red cargo rice
and black rice, dried lotus seeds, peanut...
I will mix all the beans and grains together except red cargo rice
and black rice for later use. I would get
1 and 1/4 cup of the mixed beans and grains, then I will get one full cup
of rice with 1/3 cup of red cargo rice, black rice and regular white rice
each. I will add water to the 10 cup mark and set cooking mode to
"meat". I also add dates sometime. You can add or reduce the amount of
beans/grains or rice to get the perfect porridge of your choice. Enjoy
them!
