*To prepare rice & rye if you don’t already have some in the fridge or freezer –
Measure 1 cup brown rice and 1 cup whole-grain rye (sometimes called rye berries – NOT rye flour or rolled rye flakes) into a medium saucepan. Add 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
