I‘m using these microgreens on everything after receiving this microgreens growing kit from ingarden! You can use code ‘meagan15’ to get 15% off @ingarden_com site wide. I have the crème beige with arugula and broccoli pads, they take about 7 days to grow and it’s generally much cheaper than purchasing microgreens at the store (which I’ve found to be anywhere between $4.99 to $8.99). They‘re a great way to add vitamin E, potassium, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants to a meal! Plus they make a gorgeous garnish.
The secret to this brown rice risotto is using short grain brown rice and baking it in the oven. Once it comes out of the oven you just add a little parmesan cheese and it’s SO creamy without needing to add butter.
