Before I left for Indiana I stopped by Trader Joe's and purchased some items that I knew they didn't have at the Indiana stores. One of the things I bought was this Harvest Grains blend. The thing is, I have NO idea what to do with it.It is made up of Israeli Couscous, Orzo, Baby Garbanzo Beans, and Red Quinoa. The cooking directions are to bring chicken broth to a boil, add the grain mixture, and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
The serving suggestion
provided on the package ("Serve as a side dish with meat") left a little something to be desired. Please let me know what you would do with this product. I really want to bring out its full potential!

While I liked this product, I had trouble getting all the grains to cook evenly (some stayed a bit too crunchy, others grew a bit too soft). I put it in vegetable soup with tomatoes, onions, all the sad leftovers in my vegetable drawer, and a bunch of fresh herbs-- pretty good! ~jen
Oh, but they have this now at the Indy Trader Joes! I purchased it last week but don't know what to do with it either :) .
Mix it w/ 1 jar of TJ's artichoke found near the eggplant @ olive tapenades. Actually, you can mix with any of those. I add some dolmas or chicken sausage depending on whether you are cooking for vegans or not.
