Myth-Buster Recipe. Eating fiber-rich whole foods is the best way to gain this essential component of your diet. Whole-grain wheat berries are chewy, mild, and packed with fiber. Prep all the ingredients while the grain cooks. Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked wheat berries (hard winter wheat) |
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
3 tablespoons shelled pistachios |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger |
1/2 cup golden raisins |
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled goat cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place wheat berries and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Cover with water to 2 inches above wheat berries, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 1 hour or until tender. Drain.
3. Place pistachios on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes, stirring once. Cool slightly, and chop.
4. Combine oil, juice, honey, coriander, ginger, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add hot wheat berries and raisins; stir well to combine. Let stand for 20 minutes or until cooled to room temperature.
5. Add nuts, 1/4 cup green onions, and cilantro to wheat berry mixture. Transfer to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with goat cheese.
