Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Vegetable Rice and Quinoa Pilaf.
Step 1
Start by pouring vegetable broth into a large saucepan and bringing it to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once the broth is bubbling, gently stir in the basmati rice, quinoa, chopped tomatoes, sweet raisins, fresh parsley, a sprinkle of salt, a dash of black pepper, aromatic allspice, and fragrant sage.
Step 3
Give everything a good mix to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Next, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the saucepan, and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
Step 5
This is the perfect time to let the flavors meld together and for the quinoa to become tender while the liquid is absorbed.
Step 6
Once the time is up, take the saucepan off the heat but keep it covered for a few more minutes.
Step 7
This resting period allows the grains to fluff up beautifully.
Step 8
Finally, grab a fork and gently fluff the mixture, revealing a delightful medley of textures and flavors that’s ready to be enjoyed!.
