Ingredients
2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup wheat berries (red winter variety), rye berries or barley soaked 6 to 8 hours
3 to 3 1/2 cups water
pinch of sea salt per cup of grain
parsley or watercress for garnish
Steps
Place washed rice in a pressure cooker. Mix soaked barley in thoroughly. Add water. Do not add salt or cover pressure cooker. Place on a low flame for 15 to 20 minutes.
Add salt and place cover on pressure cooker. Turn flame high and bring to pressure. When pressure is up, reduce flame to medium-low and place flame deflector under cooker. Cook for 50 minutes.
When rice is done, remove from flame and place a chopstick or spoon under the pressure gauge to allow pressure to escape more quickly.
When all pressure is out, remove cover. Let rice sit for 4 to 5 minutes and then place in a wooden bowl.
Garnish with a sprig of parsley or watercress to serve.
