It is snowing outside and I thought what better day to really learn to cook with my supplies. I opened a can of wheat berries. I soaked my wheat berries over night in water and then drained and rinsed.
Ingredients
1 c. red wheat berries
3 c. vegetable broth
1 lb. brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
1 large shallot, chopped
2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
1/4 c. walnut pieces
1 tbsp. lemon juice
zest from 1 lemon
salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
1.Bring wheatberries and broth to a boil in a saucepan. Drain. Set aside.
2.Preheat oven to 425 degrees. (Wonder how well this would work on a woodstove.)
3.Toss brussels sprouts, shallots, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then bake for fifteen or twenty minuetes. You might have to stir every once in a while. Remove from oven and add in walnut pieces.
4.Whisk together lemon juice, zest, remaining oil, salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients and serve.
It was really good.
Now, in a shtf situation, brussel sprouts are not going to be had. They can be dehydrated though and used later. Won't be same texture. Walnuts don't have a long shelf life but hey! For the first six months of a shtf situation I think I can use this recipe.
Thought I would share and get ideas on wheat berries.
