Time from start to eating: 55 min.
Makes enough for 4-5 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Sprinkle of salt
- 3 cups water
- 1 banana, mashed or pureed
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
- 3 Tbsp ground flax or chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp walnuts
Directions
- Put the rice and spices in a pot, and heat to medium, stirring occasionally to avoid burning the spices. Add the water and sea salt, cover and bring it to a boil. That happens a lot more quickly if you boil the water in a kettle first, especially if you have a pot with a heavy bottom.
- Once it’s boiling, turn down to low, and leave the rice to simmer. Stir occasionally as it cooks, about 45-50 minutes.
- After about 30 minutes, add the banana and vanilla to the pot. If you want, you can transfer this to the oven to bake, with walnuts on top to toast.
- Once the rice is soft, take the pot off the heat, and stir in the ground flax seeds. Spoon out a portion into a bowl, and top it with toasted walnuts or sunflower seeds if you like.
