Recipe serves 6
Ingredients:
1 1/2 - 2 cups wheat berries
3/4 cups walnuts or pecans, chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1/2 cups dried cranberries or cherries, chopped
1 scallion, chopped (white and green parts)
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
3 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs lemon juice + zest
salt & pepper
crumbled feta cheese
optional:
arugula
yellow bell pepper
raisins, golden raisins
Directions:
In a large pot, combine the wheat berries and enough water to cover by 2 inches.
Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 1 hour or until tender.
Drain and let cool.
Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
This is good cold or room temperature. Probably keeps well, but we always eat it within 24 hours no matter how much we make.
