Creamy Wheat Berry Delight
- 1.5 cups Wheat berries..hard or soft
- 1 cup diced onions
- 4 cloves diced garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream...maybe a little more
- 1 handful shredded parmesean
- 2 cups lightly steamed broccoli, or other wonderful veggie...squash, cauliflower, etc.
- a grind of fresh nutmeg
- 1 cup toasted pecans/walnuts/almonds...whatever you have
- 1 shot lemon juice
- Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, and chopped parsley to taste
- Cook the wheat berries however you like. I cover with lots of water and boil for at least 60 minutes or until tender...but there are lots of ways to do this. Drain.
- Saute onions in butter and EVOO in a large skillet until soft but not brown. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. lovely!
- Add cooked weat berries to the skillet Saute briefly. Add cream, nutmeg, and S&P to taste. Add some water, wine, or chicken broth if it seems too dry. Cook a bit to blend the flavors.
- Add steamed broccoli and parmesean. Melt a bit together and the add toasted nuts. Adjust S&P as needed...a tad more parm if it looks bare and serve up quickly as a lovely main or side. If a lemon is handy, squeeze over the top and sprinkle with some chopped parsley and it will brighten things up even more. :-)
