Warm Wheat Berry and Quinoa Salad
- 1 1/2 cups wheat berries (about 3/4 pound), rinsed
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 5 1/2 to 6 cups beef stock or canned low-sodium broth
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup quinoa (6 ounces), rinsed
- 1/3 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Freshly ground pepper
- In a large saucepan, combine the wheat berries and onion with 3 1/2 cups of the stock and 1 teaspoon of salt; bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer over moderately low heat until the wheat berries are tender but chewy, about 1 hour.
- Remove from the heat.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of the stock and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer over low heat until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the quinoa from the heat and stir.
- Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, then add to the wheat berries.
- Stir the remaining 1/2 cup of stock into the grain mixture if it seems dry.
- Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley, season with salt and pepper and serve.
