Sesame-Stir Fry Vegetable Grande Grains Pilaf
Virtual Potluck Healthy New Year Challenge with Bob’s Red Mill and California Olive Ranch: Side Dish
This was a fabulous side dish that would pair quite nicely with a grilled chicken breast, fish or even a steak. This was so hearty that it could actually be a meal, especially if you throw in a little meat. I really loved the Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grande Grains, a combination of whole grain wheat, brown rice, oats, rye, triticale, barley, Kamut berries, buckwheat and sesame seeds. This was my first time to try the Grande Grains and I will be adding it to the menu frequently.
The Miller’s Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a fruity beginning balanced with a warm lingering spice at the end, pairing perfectly with the orange and garlic flavors.
