2 cups dry wheat berries (about 3/4 pound) (hard winter wheat) |
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar |
2 teaspoons sesame oil |
1/2 cup cranberries |
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped |
1/2 cup chopped scallions, green part only |
3 tablespoons sliced almonds with skin, toasted |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
Directions:
1. Place the wheat berries in a medium bowl; cover with water by 2 inches. Cover and let stand 8 hours. Drain. Place the wheat berries in a 4-quart pot; cover with water by 2 inches.
