Notes
1. Make the Grains Ahead of Time: You can make big batches of cooked grains ahead of time. Cool the grains, then freeze in smaller containers (for easy defrosting). Perfect for parfaits such as this, as an instant side dish (just add herbs or seasonings), salads, soups...you get the idea :) 2. Gluten-Free: Simply choose a gluten free grain--such as quinoa, brown rice or buckwheat--for the grain.
