Cracked Wheat Berries with Honey and Ricotta

• 1 cup hard wheat berries
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
• Honey
• Ground cinnamon, for garnish
• Cocoa powder or shaved semisweet chocolate, for garnish

1. Pulse the wheat berries briefly in your blender or food processor, just enough to crack them into pieces.
2. Do not powder them.
3. Place the cracked wheat, water, and salt in the slow cooker insert.
4. Cover and cook on low overnight, about 8 hours.
5. In the morning, dish up servings of cracked wheat, then top each with a scoop of ricotta cheese.
6. Drizzle generously with honey, and then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and a dusting of cocoa powder.
7. You could conceivably kick-start your day Italian style with some grappa in your coffee, but Im thinking a nice espresso or cappuccino after breakfast would do the trickand make focusing on the drive to work a whole lot safer.
