Everyone's talking about the benefits of eating more fibre. It's good for your digestive health, heart health (lowering cholesterol and blood pressure), blood sugar control, weight management (increased fullness), reduces the risk of certain cancers, promotes a healthy gut microbiome, and reduces inflammation.
Brown rice has more fibre than white rice, and I've added to this with lentils and quinoa. The quantities below make about 8 150g servings. This week I've been eating with vegetable curry, oily fish, and in soup.
1 cup brown rice
1/2 cup puy lentils
1/4 cup quinoa
Simmer everything for 25-30 minutes in a pan with at least double the volume of boiling water in a pan that seals well.
Season after cooking otherwise the lentils don't go tender.
Divide into portions and freeze until needed.
