A very chewy grain that can be cooked on the stove top or in a slow cooker. Cooked berries can be stored in the fridge for two days or in the freezer for a month. No you do not need to pre-soak. While toasting can be skipped we feel it improves the flavor. Ingredients:
1 cup wheat berries, well washed |
2 -2 1/2 cups water (most the time i only need 2 cups so watch) or 2 -2 1/2 cups broth (most the time i only need 2 cups so watch) |
Directions:
1. Place washed berries in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook shaking the pan for around 3 to 5 minutes. Till they start to pop. Being careful not to over cook or burn.
2. Stovetop: Combine water and wheat in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until all the water is absorbed and grain is soft and chewy, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
3. Slow Cooker: Combine water and wheat in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
