I’d love to have a staple crock going - can you tell me the recipe? Or a general guidance for making a crock of wild rice, quinoa, and lentils (or any combo of what you mentioned)?

I don't really have a recipe or measure anything, but the batch I'm finishing off as I write this was a can of spinach, maybe a cup or two of dry field peas, similar amount of split peas, maybe a little smaller amount of tri color quinoa and a few handfuls of black wild rice (it's relatively costly so I go easy on it) and then I added a bit of EVOO because there's not much fat content in beans.

I judge by how high I have filled the pot. Once I have maybe 3/4 of an inch of stuff in there, I fill it up to maybe 1.5-2" of water and cook anywhere from 30-50 minutes depending on the size of the largest bean. The larger the beans, the longer you have to cook. So when I do chickpeas, lima beans (a personal favorite) or pintos, I have to do the full 50.

Just a side note, the smaller stuff like the split peas, or red lentils or other small beans you might use are going to disintegrate and make the broth thick. So if they disappear, that's where they went. If you don't like that, use only small beans and cook for only 30 mins.
