Adafina

• 1 cup dried chickpeas
• 3 cups wheat berries
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 onions, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup raisins*
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons sea salt, plus more to taste
• 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
• 3 pounds chuck roast or brisket
• 12 small Red Bliss, Yukon Gold, or new potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 cups long-grain rice
• 1 clove garlic, peeled, plus 1 whole head garlic
• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and halved
• 4 large eggs in the shell
• 1/2 cup honey

1. Two days before serving, fill two bowls with warm water.
2. Pour the chickpeas in one bowl and the wheat berries in the other.
3. The next morning, drain both and set aside separately.
4. The day before or on the day of serving, heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof casserole.
5. Add the chickpeas, onions, raisins, and sugar, and saute for about 5 minutes.
6. Make a rub of 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, and red-pepper flakes, and rub on the meat.
7. Put the meat in the casserole, and scatter the potatoes around; then fill the pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil.
8. In a separate bowl, mix the wheat berries with another 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and the cumin.
9. Then place the berries in cheesecloth and loosely tie it up, keeping in mind that the wheat berries will expand as they cook.
10. In another bowl, mix the rice with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, another teaspoon of salt, the garlic clove, and the remaining turmeric, paprika, cayenne, and red- pepper flakes.
11. Tie the rice up in another piece of cheesecloth, as you did for the wheat berries, again leaving room to expand.
12. Place the sacks in the casserole, and add the head of garlic, the sweet potatoes, and the eggs.
13. Bring the stew to a boil, and simmer, covered, for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
14. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
15. Remove the casserole cover, drizzle honey over all, and cook in the oven for at least 5 hours, or until the vegetables are reddish brown.
16. (You can also cook the adafina in a 200-degree oven overnight.)
17. To serve, remove the bundles of rice and wheat berries.
18. Spoon the meat and vegetables onto a platter with a slotted spoon, and pile the grains around them.
19. Remove the eggs from their shells, cut in half or in quarters, and arrange them around the plattero.--
