[Fwd: Overnight Crockpot Cereal]

[Guest guest]

OK, here's the hot cereal recipe I use that features barley. AJ posted

it initially but I loved it so much I've reposted it a couple of times.

 

I also have added that I make it on the stove. My slow cooker died the

night I tried to make this but the grains soaked overnight. The next

morning I transferred the mixture to a pot and cooked it for about 20

minutes.

 

Yum.

I see that forwards don't work, even if it's just an email. Here's the

Overnight Crockpot Cereal

 

1/2 cup quinoa

1 1/2 cups whole oat groats

1/2 cup millet

1/4 cup whole barley (not " pearl " ) or whole spelt

1/8 cup amaranth

1 teaspoon salt

maple syrup, honey or sweetener of choice

chopped nuts as desired

fruit or dried fruit as desired

 

Soak the quinoa for 10 minutes in water, and drain to eliminate any bitterness.

Meanwhile, rinse all oats, millet and barley in a colander for a minute or so.

Tip them into a slow cooker as you finish rinsing. Drain the water from the

quinoa, and add it to cooker along with amaranth.

Add 5 cups water and the salt.

Turn heat on cooker to low, and cover. Cook overnight.

In the morning, turn off the cooker and stir the mixture with a large spoon in

case some of the grain sticks to the side of the pot.

Scoop a serving of the mixture into a bowl, and add a drizzle of sweetener, a

few nuts and a little bit of fruit, if desired.

Makes 10 servings.

Place the remaining cereal in refrigerator container; keeps about a week. Reheat

in a pot or microwave, and add toppings as desired.
