Stir Fried Wheat Berries Recipes

STIR FRIED WHEAT BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat wok or fry pan.
• Place a small amount of oil or stock in it.
• Add sprouted wheat and stir fry 3-4 minutes (to decrease stir fry time, steam berries first for 5 minutes).
• Add other vegetables and stir-fry another few minutes, until veggies are soft.
• Add spices to taste.

BREAKFAST WHEAT BERRIES

Steps:

• The night before, combine wheat berries, 1 quart of the water and salt and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Remove from heat, stir in the honey, agave syrup or sugar, rose water, anise or fennel seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins or dried fruit. Cover and leave overnight (or for 5 to 6 hours).
• In the morning, add remaining cup of water to the wheat berries and bring to a simmer. Cook 30 to 45 minutes, stirring often, until berries are soft and splayed at one end. There should be some liquid surrounding the wheat berries (add more water if necessary). Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
• Serve on their own with some of the liquid in the saucepan (stir in some milk if desired), or spoon about 1/3 cup yogurt into bowls and top with a generous spoonful of the berries, with some of the sweet broth. Top with a handful of chopped nuts and a few pomegranate seeds if desired.

HOW TO SPROUT WHEAT BERRIES

Steps:

• Plaace 1/4 cup wheat berries in a quart canning jar(or similar regular jar) and fill with lukewarm water.
• Place a double thickness of cheesecloth over the mouth and secure with jar ring or rubber band.
• Drain water through the cheesecloth, fill again, and let soak for 2 hours.
• Drain, rinse again and drain.
• Place jar on it's side in a dark place.
• Rinse and drain twice a day for 2-4 days, or until 2 cups of sprouts are formed. Place the sprouts in a colander, rinse with cold water, drain and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
