Greger Freezer Pucks

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup millet
  • 1/2 cup whole mung bean
  • 1/2 cup oat groats
  • 1/2 cup black beluga lentils or brown lentils
  • 1/2 cup split peas yellow or green OR wild rice
  • 6 cups water
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place everything into an Instant Pot, secure the lid, and press “Manual” and set the time for 20 minutes. Allow it to cook, and after cooks under pressure for 20 minutes (it will beep), allow it to come down naturally from pressure for about 15 minutes, and then vent to release pressure. Allow the mixture to cool to firm up and absorb excess water (you can drain some excess liquid off, too). Form into freezer “pucks”

Notes

This recipe is made in an instant pot (pressure cooker). If you don’t have one, you can make this in a pot! Increase the water and the cooking time. You can definitely change out these less common grains for the more common varieties! You can use less variety — just make up the difference between them or use less water. These “pucks” travel well and can be heated and eaten with sauce, stirred into soups, dahls (like the recipe above), used in burritos or other wraps, used in veggie burger and veggie loaf creations, made into a pilaf, eaten for breakfast with cinnamon and raisins, lots and lots of uses.
Note: You don’t need to form the pucks — you can just store it and use it as you like! The pucks are just great for creating nice serving sizes and convenient storage/freezing.
