Stove Top Instructions
Place the oats, rice, buckwheat, and lentils into a mixing bowl and cover with water. Soak for an hour and up to overnight. When you're ready to cook your grains, transfer the grains to a fine mesh strainer and rinse well with water. Tap the strainer against the sink to remove as much excess water as possible.
Heat up a large pot for 2 minutes on medium, then transfer the rinsed grains to the pot and saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the water, stir, and then place a lid on the pot at an angle. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often, so that things don’t start to stick to the bottom of the pot.
Turn off the heat, add the vanilla, stir and allow to cool. Store in your fridge in one container, or separate portions (see video).
