Wheat Berries? Huh? Really chewy delightful whole grains that are CHEAP and good for you. Find 'em in your local bulk foods section (you know, with the bins). Oh, and I usually hate sweet + savory but I liked this a lot anyhow.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked wheat berries (hard winter wheat)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons shelled pistachios (I used pumpkin seeds!)
- 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
Preparation
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.
