I was bored with rice, so I mixed 1/3 brown rice, 1/3 barley, and 1/3 millet. Rinsed well, then put it in the microwave for ten minutes on high, and let it stand for a few hours. (I just put it in a big plastic bowl, and I didn't measure the water.) It was yummy underneath chili, beans, and spaghetti sauce. (3 different meals.)
