GREENS AND GRAINS – Casserole

1 1/2 cups Onions, cut in medium sized pieces (chunked)

1 cup Carrots, shredded

2 Lemons

1 Tbsp. Garlic cloves, peeled

1 Tbsp. Oregano, dried

1 tsp. Pepper, ground, black

4 Tbsp. Olive Oil, extra virgin

1/3 cup Rice

1/3 cup Millet

1/3 cup Barley

1 1/2 cups Water

Greens (any one or combination of Collards, Kale, Chard, Broccoli

Rabe. or Dandelions) to fill casserole dish to overflowing (they cook

down).

 

 

 

 

 

Wash and drain the greens and cut into pieces not over 2 inches.

Stems should be cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Add most of the greens to

the casserole dish with the onions and carrots to allow for mixing.

Add the oregano and pepper.Scrub the outside of the lemons, cut into

quarters and remove the seeds. Pour 1 cup of the water into a

blender along with the lemons, including the peel, and the garlic.

Blend at high speed. Pour into the casserole dish. Use the

remainder of the water to wash out the blender into the casserole

dish. Add the grains and mix. Add the remaining greens, cover the

dish and place in the microwave oven for 10 minutes at " high " .

After the 10 minutes the greens should be wilted enough to mix

again. Place back in the microwave oven for an additional 20 minutes

and mix again. Repeat for another 20 minutes. It should be done.

Check the grains for softness and that the water is all absorbed.

Cook for additional time as needed, and if necessary, add a little

water if contents are dry. Mix in the olive oil and serve.

 

We cook greens and grains in a 4 liter (qt.) covered casserole dish

in a microwave oven.
