Mung Bean and Rice Congee

INSTANT POT MUNG BEAN AND RICE CONGEE-1

Congee is a porridge made with rice that is very easy to digest. This Instant Pot congee uses dry mung beans and sweet brown rice, along with a large amount of fresh ginger and Indian spices to create a flavorful and nourishing vegan meal. The mung beans don't need to be soaked before using them as the pressure cooker cooks them perfectly at the same time as the rice. Serve congee with plenty of chopped fresh cilantro for a nourishing, anti-inflammatory meal.

Ingredients
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onions diced
1½ tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic crushed
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoons sea salt
1 cups mung beans rinsed and drained
¾ cups sweet brown rice
5 cups water
½ cups cilantro chopped

Lovely texture and gentle, warm spices — my hard-to-please spouse loved it! I don't have an Instant Pot, and just cooked on the stove for between 45 minutes and an hour. I added kale and frozen peas. Next time I'll try sweet potatoes. Thank you for this delicious meal!
