Trader Joe's fans...Havest Grains Blend is awesome!

"A savory blend of Israeli style couccous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans and red quinoa."

 A bag of this is fantastic! It cooks in 10 mintues, and I can imagine all sorts of things to do with this. I served it as a grain side dish alongside a grilled sausage and some steamed broccoli for dinner, but then we liked it so much I made up the rest of the bag and will make a sort of pasta salad out of it.

We love this! It is so interesting tasting, and has a great chew, and it is perfect as a bed for things with sauce (instead of rice), or as the pasta in a pasta salad.

Try it! 

Oh, I wish I'd had this recommendation before my trip to TJ's yesterday - sounds like a perfect combination!  Thank you!

 I'll pick some up next time I go to TJ's. Thanks for the recommendation.

What section is it in? I'm guessing frozen foods.

Cookguy,

It is with the rice. It is a dry grains mix.

To make it, you boil it in water or broth for 10 minutes, the grains cook and plump up, and voila!

Thanks for responding Dorthy. I will pick some up on my next shopping trip.

This sounds yummy!

I wish we had a Trader Joe's down in Florida, but none yet.  Ever since I went to a TJ store back in Michigan, while visiting a few years back, the entire family as been hooked on it!  MY DH will be going back to Mi. to visit his parents in November, so he promised he's stop in and get me some of the items I'm wanting.  I'll add this to the list!!

In the mean time, if anyone has an "in" with Trader Joe big wigs, tell them Florida is needing a store down here!!  Thanks!
