Free Recipe: Wheat Berries with Onion & Curry

4 Servings
0.50 c Wheat berries
2.00 c Cold water; for soaking
2.00 c Cold water
(or use chicken broth for a
-richer flavor)
1.00 ts Salt; plus
Additional salt to taste
0.50 ts Freshly-ground black pepper;
-plus
Additional pepper to taste
1.00 Onion; finely chopped
2.00 tb Unsalted butter
2.00 tb Curry powder
0.25 c Water
2.00 tb Coconut milk

Cover the berries with the cold water and soak them overnight. (This
will increase their volume threefold.) Drain and place in a lidded
pot. Add 2 cups cold water or chicken broth, one teaspoon salt, and
1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer
and cook between 1 and 1 1/4 hours, until the berries are tender and
have absorbed all the liquid. They will, however, still retain some
crunch. Saute the onion in the butter until translucent. Add the
curry powder and cook, stirring, to toast the curry powder and coat
the onion evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes over low heat. Add the cooked
wheat berries and combine well. Stir in 1/4 cup water. Put a lid on
the pot, and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir in the
coconut milk, adjust the seasoning and serve immediately. This recipe
yields 4 servings.
