Best Kates Banana Gluten Free Cream Of Rice Hot Cereal For Grownups Recipes

HOMEMADE BROWN RICE HOT CEREAL

Steps:

• In clean, dry skillet (preferably cast iron) toast brown rice on medium heat. Lower heat if rice starts to smoke.
• Toast rice for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly so that grains do not burn. Rice should turn a medium brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In blender fitted with steel blade, or in grain mill or food processor grind browned rice to the consistency of medium coarse cornmeal (grainy but not powdered.).
• The grinding process will have to be done in 3/4 cup portions to allow the rice grains to grind effectively.
• To store: Place ground rice cereal in airtight container or "ziploc" bag. The cereal must be kept either refrigerated or frozen. Brown rice goes rancid quickly if stored in cupboard.
• To prepare hot cereal: (1 serving/thick consistency*).
• In small saucepan with 1 cup of rapidly boiling, salted water gradually add 1/3 cup scant of prepared brown rice cereal using a fork to stir well. *For thinner consistency cereal, either increase amount of water, or reduce amount of cereal. Continue to cook rice on high for about 30 seconds breaking up any lumps. Reduce heat until boiling subsides, cover pan tightly and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Serve with your favorite toppings if desired. Season with salt if necessary. My favorite additions are toasted nuts, raisins and cardamom!

JALAPENO HOT RICE

Steps:

• Sauté the onion, green pepper, and jalapeño in the butter in a medium saucepan until tender. Add the mushrooms, chicken broth, and rice.
• Cover and simmer 15 to 30 minutes or until rice is tender.

KATE'S BANANA GLUTEN FREE CREAM OF RICE HOT CEREAL FOR GROWNUPS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine Rice & Shine and milk. Bring to a low boil, uncovered, on medium high heat. Watch carefully because the casein in the milk will make it boil over and burn rapidly. Simmer on low for five minutes with lid ajar. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Meanwhile, mash or slice banana in a cereal bowl (slicing gives more texture, but mashing distributes the banana flavor better). Stir brown sugar into banana.
• Pour hot cereal over banana mixture and stir until combined. Add a sprinkle of salt, and stir in more milk if desired. Note: The directions on the box are different than these directions. I have made it both ways and I like this version better.
